[amsat-bb] Pioneer 10 lives after faint signal heard on V.L.B.I station in Madrid, Spain!

Hi!
I thought you'd be interested in this story from Science@NASA:

Last week NASA received a weak signal from Pioneer 10, twice as far
from the Sun as Pluto and speeding toward the constellation Taurus. The
well-traveled spacecraft is currently exploring the outer heliosphere, but
soon it will take on a new job: ambassador to the stars.
