NASA has re-established full contact with Voyager 2 by using its highest-power transmitter to send an 'interstellar shout' that righted the distant probe's antenna orientation.
According to the space agency, a series of planned commands sent to the spaceship on July 21 mistakenly caused the antenna to point two degrees away from Earth, compromising its ability to send and receive signals and endangering its mission.
While the situation was not expected to be resolved until at least October 15 but NASA on 4 August said its Jet Propulsion Laboratory has succeeded in a longshot effort to send instructions that righted the craft.
