28th October 1971 our good friend Prospero was blasted into space were he has been orbiting the earth ever since. He was officially decommissioned in 1996 and all communication lost. However we know that he is still there communicating away and busily making picture frames. It has been said that he is not likely to burn out until 2070 so a few more years left in the old dog yet.
Congratulations Prospero on your 45 yrs in space
