New Delhi:- NASA’s Voyager 2 shuttle was back chatting it up Friday after flight controllers redressed a botch that had driven to weeks of quiet. Rushing ever more profound into interstellar space billions of miles absent, Voyager 2 ceased communicating two weeks back. Controllers sent the off-base command to the 46-year-old shuttle and tilted its radio wire absent from Soil.

On Wednesday, NASA’s Profound Space Arrange sent a modern command in trusts of repointing the recieving wire, utilizing the most elevated fueled transmitter at the tremendous radio dish radio wire in Australia. Voyager 2’s radio wire required to be moved a insignificant 2 degrees.

Among the logical goodies they’ve channeled back in later a long time incorporate points of interest around the interstellar attractive field and the plenitude of enormous beams.

“We’ve been exceptionally intelligent over the final 10 a long time to squeeze out each single small watt,” Dodd said. “Hopefully, one of them will make it to 50. But they are ancient and certainly occasions like this one that fair happened panic the dickens out of me, as distant as making that sort of a milestone.”
