It's every space mission's nightmare: losing contact with the spacecraft.
On July 21, controllers lost contact with Voyager 2, out in the depths of space. Now they're waiting for a reset to catch Voyager 2's next message when it"phones home".
All is not lost. Yet. That's because the spacecraft is programmed to reset its orientation several times a year to keep the antenna pointed toward Earth. The next reset isn't for months – on October 15th. Until then, Voyager 2 is speeding along on its planned trajectory. Now, they're in the Voyager Interstellar Mission phase, where their data helps characterize the"limits" of the solar system lie and where deep space begins. Voyager 2 probablya few years ago, although it still reports on conditions at the"edge" of the solar system.
