Voyager 2 Reestablishes Contact with NASA

NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched in 1977 to explore far-away planets, has finally made contact after communication was lost two weeks ago due to a wrong command. The spacecraft, which is over 12 billion miles from Earth, sent a "carrier signal" indicating it is still operational. Engineers will attempt to turn the antenna back towards Earth, but if unsuccessful, they will have to wait until October when the spacecraft's onboard software resets its direction. Voyager 2's twin, Voyager 1, remains NASA's most distant spacecraft at 15 billion miles from Earth.
