   Oops! Earth has temporarily lost contact with the Voyager 2 spacecraft.

   A series of planned commands sent to the spacecraft on July 21 inadvertently caused its antenna to get mispointed by 2°. NASA can no longer send commands or receive data from Voyager 2 via the DSN.

   Voyager 2 is programmed to reset its orientation multiple times each year to keep its antenna pointing at Earth; the next reset will occur on Oct 15, which should restore communications.
