It is every space mission’s worst nightmare: losing contact with the spacecraft. On July 21, controllers faced this dreaded scenario when they lost communication with Voyager 2, located billions of kilometers away in the depths of space. The spacecraft, however, seems to be functioning normally and may be sending valuable data back to Earth. The
