We're hearing a Chuck Berry song that is on that golden record on board Voyager 2.ĬHUCK BERRY: (Singing) Deep down in Louisiana close to New Orleans, way back. INSKEEP: She's the Voyager project manager at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, Calif., which hopes to reestablish contact with the spacecraft by October. INSKEEP: Well, Suzanne Dodd, it's a pleasure talking with you. So it's kind of a little bit on pins and needles and pretty nervous, actually.

#Nasa tee shirt software
We're hopeful that all the built-in checks that we put into the software will work, but you never know 100%. And to have this kind of issue happen is - it's scary. I mean, it's certainly a member of the family to everybody on the team who works on it. I think it's disheartening to know that, you know, we've worked so long with this spacecraft that it might be in jeopardy now. INSKEEP: What have the last several weeks been like when you realized this happened and something had gone wrong?ĭODD: It's been very stressful. And that makes it very hard to communicate with. And from the distance that Voyager 2 is, close to 13 billion miles from us, that essentially points it almost to the orbit of Jupiter.ĭODD: Several planets off, yeah. And so it's pointed about two degrees off of the Earth.

#Nasa tee shirt update
We sent a command to update its pointing toward the Earth, and there was an error in that command. INSKEEP: So what happened with the antennas recently?ĭODD: Well, it was a bit unfortunate. We measure the solar wind and the absence of solar wind. We measure the energy levels of charged particles that we see. But we can measure the environment we're traveling through. The sun is basically a bright star to Voyager. It's very, very dark, very, very cold where Voyager is. We've stopped taking pictures since we went past Neptune. How would you describe to laymen what you're learning about the universe these last several years?ĭODD: I look at Voyager right now as somewhat of a weather satellite, in some ways.

INSKEEP: So we presume no one has listened at this point, but you are getting information. UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #3: (Non-English language spoken). UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #2: (Non-English language spoken). UNIDENTIFIED PERSON #1: (Non-English language spoken). INSKEEP: The record contains greetings in many languages. They actually attached a needle with that record on the outside of the spacecraft, so the technology is definitely 1970s technology with Voyager.
#Nasa tee shirt how to
Would anybody know how to play it?ĭODD: Right. INSKEEP: You know, when I first read about the gold record as a kid, I think, I wondered, would, you know, any alien life form - would they know how to play it? And I'm now realizing it's been going so long that if it came back to Earth with this gold record, we'd have the same question. SUZANNE DODD: It does have this gold record on it that contains the sounds of our planet Earth, and it's on this spacecraft for any future being to discover it. Suzanne Dodd, who manages Voyager 2 from a California lab, says it's now 13 billion miles away recording information and also ready for contact just in case. In recent weeks, a programming error on Earth caused the agency to lose contact, leaving NASA waiting for an automatic reset to kick in this fall. That spacecraft has been hurtling away from the Earth since 1977. The space agency NASA is waiting to reestablish contact with Voyager 2.
