This reminds me of that Episode in Star Trek when Earth managed to reestablish communications with the starship Voyager, which was also far away from home.

Was that the first Star Trek movie? They recycled a lot of content, so it may have been elsewhere as well. Good movie though!

The first movie was indeed about the Voyager satellite, but my comment was referring to the Voyager TV series, where the starship Voyager (presumably named after the satellite) is lost in deep space and too far away from earth for any comms to go thru.
