NASA Contacts Voyager 2 Successfully!
Ғылым және технология
NASA has reestablished contact with the Voyager 2 spacecraft after weeks of silence. The historic probe launched in 1977, had been out of contact since July 21, when a software glitch caused its antenna to shift slightly. This meant that the spacecraft was no longer pointing at Earth, and NASA was unable to communicate with it. To restore contact, NASA sent a "shout" across interstellar space to Voyager 2, more than 20 billion km or 12.3 billion miles away, instructing it to turn its antenna back to Earth. With a one-way light time of 18.5 hours for the command to reach Voyager, it took 37 hours for mission controllers to learn whether the command worked. Finally, on August 4, NASA received a signal from Voyager 2, indicating that the spacecraft is operating normally and that it remains on its expected trajectory.

The video is "liberal" on technical details, the spacecraft re-orients itself automatically every few weeks. It would not be able to receive a "shout" from NASA while its antenna is pointing in the wrong direction. NASA did not even need to send a command to confirm the restored communication, the spacecraft is always transmitting science data, no need to ask it for anything.

That they can still communicate with a 46 year old spacecraft millions of miles from earth is pretty freaking awesome
I believe that Voyager II has been the most successful bit of equipment to ever be placed in space thus far. If only its cameras still worked.

But if they lost contact because the dish wasn't pointed in the right direction, how are they able to send the communication to point the dish in the right direction? I was curious if there was another channel that they used.

Interesting that they keep finding a way to reconnect to Voyager but with Viking, one attempt at rebooting the system and it's lost as the antenna was simply no longer pointing at Earth and would not search to realign. Shows who was thinking of a reasonable fallback position and who wasn't.
This is unbelievable achievement, kudos to the scientists. Built 46 years ago and still going, how fabulous is that?
Spacecraft should have said 'sorry' in reply 😂
Communications with Voyager 1 which now take a few hours, will take a generation in the distant future.
Mind blowing for sure!

I am so happy now that we re-connected with a man-made machine billions of miles away. Keep up the good work.
Props to the camera man for filming Voyager 2 for the making of this video 👏👏
Meanwhile, the Mars rover, Opportunity's last message was,"My battery is low and it’s getting dark.”,because its solar panels are covered in red dust and cannot convert enough sunlight into enough energy to recharge itself.
NASA is the ultimate in any space competition
For people who don't get why the Voyager 2 Is going so far: objects don't lose energy in space as well as kinetic energy because space is a vacuum, the Voyager 2 will always travel at one specific velocity until it collides with something.
I can't wait for it to finally become veger from star trek!! A meld of our voyager 2 probe and a alien probe to become a hybrid probe looking for us then we will get access to super cool technology 😊
It's crazy how advance that satellite is for being that old and crazy how it doesn't take that long to reconnect from that far out in space

Voyager after reestablishment said "apart from a space monster I saw, I can finally call home"
NASA's and its satellites' friendship teaches us to never lose contact with our good friends.
Thanks V-2 , (V-1)I was afraid of deep darkest here!
Space is so cool and weird at the same time lol
I heard that it’s scheduled to realign the antenna on regular intervals not that they “shouted”
Interestingly they’re still using old computers to operate Voyager 2
18.5 light hours hah, that thing is waay out there.
But how could it receive the command to turn its antenna towards earth? NASA did not send that command, the spacecraft re-calibrates it's orientation automatically every few weeks, as it has been doing for years. Moving it's antenna away from earth is the only way it can move it's camera and other sensors in a specific direction. It is designed to do this, and designed to eventually find earth when the programmed restoration of orientation somehow fails.
That’s fascinating!
Unbelievable 👍👍👍
NASA sent a "shout" out to the universe? I guess they are sure it's not a beacon telling everyone out there exactly where we are
Awesome, now we can continue to get signal from it on its dying journey to nowhere.
Your telling me it’s been out there doing what since my mum! Was 5 😂
