NASA Hears 'Heartbeat’ Of Voyager 2

Handout - The Voyager mission team at NASA has been able to detect a signal from Voyager 2 after losing contact with the spacecraft, which has been operating for nearly 46 years. “We enlisted the help of the (Deep Space Network) and Radio Science groups to help to see if we could hear a signal from Voyager 2,” said Suzanne Dodd, Voyager’s project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California. “This was successful in that we see the ‘heartbeat’ signal from the spacecraft. So, we know the spacecraft is alive and operating. Commands sent to Voyager 2 on July 21 accidentally caused the spacecraft’s antenna to point 2 degrees away from Earth. The miniscule shift means that Voyager 2 can’t receive any commands from mission control or send data back to Earth from its location more than 12.3 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) in interstellar space.

          NASA’s Juno Mission Captures Lightning On Jupiter

          Handout - An incredible picture shows lightning on Jupiter. In a vortex near the planet’s north pole, NASA’s Juno space probe mission observed the glow from a bolt of lightning. NASA explain: "On Earth, lightning bolts originate from water clouds, and happen most frequently near the equator, while on Jupiter lightning likely also occurs in clouds containing an ammonia-water solution, and can be seen most often near the poles. In the coming months, Juno’s orbits will repeatedly take it close to Jupiter as the spacecraft passes over the giant planet’s night side, which will provide even more opportunities for Juno’s suite of science instruments to catch lightning in the act." Juno captured the view as it completed its 31st close flyby of Jupiter on Dec. 30, 2020. In this newly released picture, Kevin M. Gill, a software engineer at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, has processed raw data from the JunoCam instrument aboard the spacecraft. At the time the raw image was taken, Juno was about 19,900 miles (32,000 k
