After a long haul of nearly eight months, some good news has finally surfaced, Voyager 1 which has been silent since November 2023 is now active and operational again. It is successfully transmitting usable data to Earth with all of its four science instruments intact. In November last year, the Voyager spacecraft started transmitting unintelligible …
Updated Jun 16, 2024, 11:43 IST NASA’s Voyager 1 is fully back after months of malfunction in sending messages. “The spacecraft has resumed gathering information about interstellar space,” NASA said.

46-year-old Voyager 1 resumed interactions with NASA this week after months of “incoherent” communication. The most distant spacecraft from Earth had stopped sending understandable data last November due to a bad computer chip. Flight controllers have since rearranged coding to work around the trouble, and efforts to restore transmission of the science data remains underway. …
This artist’s concept depicts NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft entering interstellar space, or the space between stars. Following a computer glitch, Voyager 1 is back to transmitting scientific data, with further instrument recalibrations expected soon.

NASA ground teams have fixed a problem with the Voyager 1 spacecraft that caused it to relay corrupted data back home. Two science instruments have resumed operations, and NASA intends to start up two more. The Canberra ground station was receiving data from Voyager 2 at the time of writing.

NASA’s Voyager 1 is back in business after a serious glitch in November put a stop to its science work for months. The probe is humanity’s most …
NASA’s Voyager 1 is the most-distant man-made object in space and is more than 24 billion kilometres away from us. But the first spacecraft to cross into interstellar space is not doing well and its days seem numbered as it is sending back incoherent messages to mission controllers at the space agency. “It basically stopped …
