Looks as though they’ve started receiving limited signals – a “heartbeat” from the probe. And even if full communications aren’t re-established in the immediate term, it seems Voyager 2 automatically repositions its antenna towards Earth every few months – next one due is in October. Pretty slick for such an old probe.
