The legendary probe went silent two weeks ago as the result of NASA transmitting a potentially faulty command.
earlier today, JPL announced that the Deep Space Network snagged a carrier signal from Voyager 2, confirming that the 46-year-old spacecraft is in good health. NASA’s DSN consists of a worldwide network of large antennas and communication facilities that support
interplanetary spacecraft, among other missions. Receipt of this “heartbeat” signal, as it’s also known, is a massive relief and a positive sign, but Voyager 2 is not yet out of the interstellar woods., causing Voyager 2’s antenna to point two degrees away from Earth. The probe is still transmitting data, but those signals are now bypassing Earth and are no longer being received.
