Scientists expect the Voyager spacecraft to outlive Earth by at least a trillion years. NASA/JPL-CalTechVoyager 1 is the farthest human-made object from Earth. After sweeping by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, it is now almost 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth in interstellar space. Both Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, carry little pieces of humanity in the form of their Golden Records. These messages in a bottle include spoken greetings in 55 languages, sounds and imag

NASA "shouted" a command to the spacecraft across over 12.3 billion miles of space using the Deep Space Network, telling it to turn its antenna back to Earth.

After weeks of giving Earth the silent treatment, NASA's Voyager 2 probe is once again communicating with mission control from billions of miles away.

NASA has re-established full contact with Voyager 2 after the space agency announced it lost connection after a bad command was sent through.

NASA fully restores contact with Voyager 2 spacecraft

NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft had a communication breakdown with Earth, but it's still broadcasting signals to the agency's Deep Space Network antenna group.

After losing contact with it for approximately a week, NASA has announced its re-established connection with its Voyager 2 spacecraft.

NASA detected a signal from its Voyager 2 spacecraft on August 1, after losing communication for over a week. Launched 46 years ago, Voyager 2 is currently in interstellar space. Along with Voyager 1, it has provided invaluable data and inspired future space missions.

NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft is alone drifting through interstellar space after a communications breakdown left it unable to receive commands or transmit data back to Earth.

NASA lost contact with Voyager 2 after a series of planned commands on July 21 accidentally caused the spacecraft's antenna to point 2 degrees away from Earth.
