by Tech Times
Tech Times— NASA's Voyager 1 could soon resume normal operations after it transmits usable data for the first time in five months.
FOX Weather—NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft resumes sending data to Earth from interstellar space after 5-month outage. Cheers and applause erupted this weekend when NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft sent back the first usable data from interstellar space after a five-month communication gap. Engineers with Voyager's flight team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, have been troubleshooting an issue since November, when the spacecraft, more than 15.1 billion miles from Earth, began sending back nonsense computer code. On Saturday, after 45 hours of waiting to find out if their plan to send the...
San Bernardino Sun—Voyager 1 sending data to Earth for 1st time in 5 months. Given Voyager 1’s immense distance from Earth, it takes a radio signal about 22.5 hours to reach the probe, and another 22.5 hours for a response signal from the spacecraft to reach Earth.
