NASA Regains Contact with Voyager 2 Spacecraft After Communication Loss

NASA lost communication with Voyager 2 due to an inadvertent antenna misalignment caused by a wrong command.
The spacecraft sent a carrier signal that was detected by NASA's Deep Space Network antennas.
Engineers are working to realign Voyager 2's antenna to reestablish full communication.
If unsuccessful, Voyager 2's scheduled reset on October 15 should automatically realign its antenna towards Earth.
Voyager 2 was launched in 1977 and continues its mission to explore interstellar space over 12 billion miles from Earth.
