Voyager 2's Communication Mishap: NASA's Search and Recovery Efforts
TL;DR Summary
NASA is searching for any signals from Voyager 2, which lost contact after flight controllers accidentally sent a wrong command that tilted its antenna away from Earth. The spacecraft's antenna shifted only 2%, but it was enough to cut communications. NASA's huge dish antenna in Canberra, Australia, is on the lookout for any stray signals from Voyager 2, which is over 12 billion miles away. If unsuccessful, NASA will have to wait until October for an automatic spacecraft reset to restore communication.
