NASA's intergalactic spacecraft Voyager 2 is still sending out a signal after the space agency thought communication was lost with the 46-year-old spacecraft until October.
NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft, currently 12.4 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) from Earth, has phoned home, essentially telling mission controllers that the recent rumors of its impending death have been greatly exaggerated. The ongoing communications problem, however, remains unresolved.
NASA s Voyager 2 probe regains contact with mission control after a communication glitch. Launched in 1977, the spacecraft is exploring interstellar space, and its twin, Voyager 1, resides nearly 15 billion miles away. Both carry "Golden Records" sharing humanity s story.
job openings in the us are at the lowest level in two years. on the last day ofjune, the us labor department reported 9.852 millionjob openings that s a drop of 3a,ooo from the month before. this apparent labour market resilience suggests the federal reserve could keep rates higher for longer. nasa says it has received a signal from a distant spacecraft it accidentally severed contact with. the american space agency had lost communication with its voyager 2 probe after it mistakenly sent it the wrong command. now two weeks later the space agency says contact, albeit limited, has now been re established. the signal came through during a regular scan of the sky. given that the space craft is almost 20 billion kilometres, or more than 12 billion miles, away, that signal will have taken around 18 hours to reach earth. nasa says the news confirms voyager 2 is still broadcasting and is in good health. the probe has been floating in space since 1977 when it was launched to study the outer
