NASA continues to study the universe with dozens of vehicles sent into space. The space agency has recently come to the fore with a very interesting news. NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft, which it sent into space in 1977, stopped receiving commands. In today’s news, there was new information from the spacecraft. Here are the details!
Signal received from Voyager 2 spacecraft!
Recently, we published a report that NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft, which was sent to space in 1977, stopped receiving commands. After this news, a series of information emerged. The space agency announced that it received a signal again from the vehicle that it lost communication.
The Voyager 2 spacecraft had problems connecting with the crew last week, with the antenna experiencing a 2-degree shift. However, the vehicle stopped receiving commands from Earth and had problems transmitting data to Earth.
Suzanne Dodd, the agency’s Voyager Interstellar Project Manager, issued a written statement. In his statement, he stated that the vehicle was alive through the “Deep Space Network”, known as NASA’s worldwide collection of radio antennas. She also stated that she received a signal from Voyager 2.
Despite all this, Suzanne Dodd said that the experts in California continued their work. According to the statement, experts are preparing to take a step to turn the Voyager 2 antenna towards Earth. However, if things do not go as expected, it will be necessary to wait until October.
The Voyager 1 vehicle, which is still in contact with the Earth, is currently 24 billion kilometers away. Voyager 2 is almost 20 billion kilometers away. Given this situation, it will take about 18 hours for the signal to reach Earth.
