For the first time since November, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems. The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again. The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between stars).
After some inventive sleuthing, the mission team can — for the first time in five months — check the health and status of the most distant human-made object in existence.
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.

As Charles III prepares to celebrate the anniversary of his Coronation on May 6, he may well reflect on what has been a bittersweet first year as King.
Voyager 1 is currently about 15 billion miles away, and at 46 years old, the probe has shown multiple quirks and signs of aging in recent years.

With the best scoops, finest columnists, superlative features and unmissable supplements, it's little wonder we have left our rivals trailing in our wake.
Three soldiers and a cyclist were injured after the animals threw their riders and galloped off. The scenes were like a cross between that Lloyds Bank advert and a Quentin Tarantino movie.
