NASA has successfully “reestablished full communications” with Voyager 2, an interstellar deep space probe which the agency sent offline with a faulty command two weeks ago.
NASA/AFP via Getty Images“With a one-way light time of 18.5 hours for the command to reach Voyager, it took 37 hours for mission controllers to learn whether the command worked,” NASA added.
Such information is a major indicator that Voyager 2 “is operating normally and that it remains on its expected trajectory.”
