Rosetta is the first spacecraft designed to orbit and land a probe on a comet <gulp>.  It is waking up right now, after over two years of sleep.  Because Rosetta is so far away, ESA and NASA are using the 70-meter Goldstone Antenna to listen for her faint signal. They expect to hear something around noonish CT, give or take a half hour.  Above is the live feed, embedded.
