The Jet Propulsion Lab lost contact with Voyager 2, which is traveling 12.3 billion miles away from Earth, after engineers mistakenly pointed its antenna 2 degrees away from its home planet.

Voyager 2, which is nearly 46 years into its mission, is roughly 12.4 billion miles from Earth after leaving the heliosphere — the shield that protects the planets from interstellar radiation ...

Earth to Voyager 2: After a Year in the Darkness, We Can Talk to You Again. NASA’s sole means of sending commands to the distant space probe, launched 44 years ago, is being restored on Friday.

NASA’s Voyager 2 became the first and still only spacecraft to fly by Uranus, offering humanity its first close-up look at this mysterious, icy giant. Orbiting over 1.8 billion miles from Earth, ...

A NASA image of one of the twin Voyager space probes. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory lost contact with Voyager 2 on July 21 after mistakenly pointing its antenna 2 degrees away from Earth.

Because of Voyager 2’s trajectory relative to Earth, it can talk to only one station and one antenna in the network: Canberra’s 70 meter dish, also known as DSS 43.

In the nearly 44 years since NASA launched Voyager 2, the spacecraft has gone beyond the frontiers of human exploration by visiting Uranus, Neptune and, eventually, interstellar space.

Commands sent to Voyager 2 on July 21 accidentally caused the spacecraft’s antenna to point 2 degrees away from Earth. The miniscule shift means that Voyager 2 can’t receive any commands from ...

NASA has detected a signal from Voyager 2 after nearly two weeks of silence from the interstellar spacecraft. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said on Tuesday that a series of ground antennas ...

Voyager 2, which is nearly 46 years into its mission, is roughly 12.4 billion miles from Earth. In 2018, the spacecraft left the heliosphere, which is the outer layer of particles and magnetic ...

NASA's long-running Voyager 2 mission, which launched from Earth in 1977 and is currently about 12.4 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) from Earth, lost contact with our planet after a set of ...
