Voyager 2: NASA Loses Contact with Distant Spacecraft
TL;DR Summary
NASA has lost contact with the Voyager 2 spacecraft, located almost 12.4 billion miles from Earth, after a series of planned commands caused the antenna to point away from Earth. Communications may not resume until mid-October when a scheduled orientation reset is programmed to keep the antenna pointed at Earth. Voyager 2, launched in 1977, entered interstellar space in 2018 and has made significant discoveries during its mission.
