NASA restores communication with Voyager 2 spacecraft after positioning error

  • Voyager 2 stopped communicating with NASA in July due to an antenna misalignment.
  • NASA sent a command to reorient Voyager 2's antenna back towards Earth.
  • It took over 37 hours for the signal to reach Voyager 2 and get a response back.
  • Voyager 2 is now operating normally and collecting data again.
  • The Voyager probes, launched in 1977, continue their interstellar missions.
