NASA scientists announced Tuesday afternoon that the Deep Space Network of antennae had picked up a carrier signal from the Voyager 2 Spacecraft after days of silence.
"Engineers will now try to send Voyager 2 a command to point itself back at Earth," JPL said in a tweet."If that does not work, we’ll have to wait until October, when the spacecraft's onboard software automatically tells it to reset its direction."
Project manager Suzanne Dodd told The Associated Press on Tuesday that the news"buoyed" spirits there. , communications should resume, although and controllers reportedly doubt the command will work.
