Oops. NASA Accidentally Points Voyager 2's Antenna Away from Earth, Temporarily Losing Contact
NASA was communicating with the Voyager 2 spacecraft when a series of planned commands caused it to point its antenna 2 degrees from Earth. This broke communications with the spacecraft since it's not pointed at Earth anymore and can't receive new commands or transmit data home. The spacecraft is programmed to reset its orientation on October 15th, which should restore communications. Voyager 1 is still working normally.
