Next hardware reset and automatic reorientation for Voyager 2 is October 15th. Yes the device automatically resets itself about four to five times a year. Communications are expected to be reestablished then.
In the meantime, they’re going to shout at it.
That’s good news! I was about to ask whether they have some absolute software recovery procedure and glad they do!
That’s great to know. This post made me weirdly depressed and was a bad way to start the morning lol.
Almost like real engineers planned for such an event!
Someone ran ‘systemctl restart networking’ while SSH’d into the probe.
ssh root@vps [commands] sudo shutdown nowFUC-
Wikipedia states: “In July 2023, communication with Voyager 2 was lost when flight control pointed its antenna away from Earth, moving it by 2 degrees away from Earth. The NASA dish antenna in Canberra is being used to search for the space probe and will be used to saturate its location with commands to re-align the probe’s antenna in an attempt to re-establish the radio link. If NASA fails to contact the probe, it is expected that an automatic system on Voyager 2 will direct its dish toward Earth in October 2023.”
Great that they included these automatic hardware resets. Way to go if your computer will never see a human or human-made thing ever again
So essentially someone probably wanted to move it one way and it moved the other. It should automatically reposition itself in contact with NASA in 2 months. It’s amazing the foresight we had in 1977 to write in all sorts of catch-alls… In 2 months we’ll get back in contact with the probe and it will have its own place, hanging out with aliens.
There’s no going into the office to fix this one…
Wow, I just read the wiki. It has a 64 Megabyte tape storage, so after it realigns the antenna they can receive the data they’ve missed. Pretty state of the art for 1977. I wonder how they shielded it from radiation. The fuel source of the reactor lasts probably until 2026. After that, it’ll travel as a brick, most likely long after humans rm -rf’d
You just need to reboot it manually
Just press and hold the power button smh
V2 be like: “WHAT did you say about my mother? F… you, Earth man.”
Mission control: “Dude you don’t have a mother it was a typo. Dude. Talk to me.”
seenMission control: “Dude.”
seenMission control: “C’mon man.”
This message could not be sent. V2 may have blocked your numberHello IT, have you tried turning it off and on again?
That’s why your color your production windows red.
Sounds like those two need to go to couples therapy.
When you ufw enable but forgot to whitelist port 22
sudo rm -rf --no-preserve-root /starman is not in the sudoers file.
This incident will be reported.Oh no, Linus Torvalds is gonna call me again
sudo rm -rf /*
Awww, what a shame though. This probe was doing some really cool stuff, it’s kinda iconic in my head.
It should be ok. It’s due to self-reset its orientation on October 15, they put measures in place for if they accidentally lost contact.
I would still be besides myself if I had made that error though.
