NASA has finally reestablished communication with the Voyager 2 space. Previously, the US government's independent agency lost contact with Voyager 2 on July 21 and sent mixed signals to Voyager 2 which caused its antenna to point two degrees away from Earth. Things got better when NASA detected a faint signal from Voyager on Tuesday. The agency utilised its highest-power transmitter to send an "interstellar shout" that helped in improving the probe's antenna orientation.

The interstellar shout was sent from a facility in Canberra, Australia. It took 18.5 hours for commands to reach Voyager 2 whereas the return journey took 37 hours. For this reason, it took longer for the scientists to give any updates on the progress. After the successful recovery, Voyager 2 began sending back data on August 4 at 12:29 a.m.
