For the first time in five months, NASA engineers have received decipherable data from Voyager 1 after crafting a creative solution to fix a communication problem aboard humanity’s most distant spacecraft in the cosmos. Voyager 1 is currently about 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) away, and at 46 years old, the probe has shown multiple quirks and signs of aging in recent years. The latest issue experienced by Voyager 1 first cropped up in November 2023, when the flight data system’s...
By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — For the first time in five months, NASA engineers have received decipherable data from Voyager 1 after crafting a creative solution to fix a communication problem aboard humanity’s most distant spacecraft in the cosmos.

NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) has confirmed that Voyager 1 remains in good health. The team has identified the issue affecting the probe's ability to transmit valuable scientific data back to Earth, and engineers are now working to implement the necessary fix to reroute communications "around" the malfunctioning chip foundRead Entire Article
In a stellar display of problem-solving, NASA has restored contact with the legendary Voyager 1 probe after five months of radio silence. The 46-year-old spacecraft went dark last November when a key computer chip failed, garbling the engineering data it beams across 15 billion miles of space. — Read the rest
The U.S. will send a massive $1 billion military weapons package - including long-range missiles, ammunition, drones and vehicles - to send the Ukraine.
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).
Griffner and Studio F. A. Porsche have teamed up to create a stylish prefabricated home. It’s known as the floating house and it features a stylish design with floor-to-ceiling windows as well as black tiles on the first floor. While the exterior shell is built quickly (2 weeks), the complete home takes 5-7 months with a starting price of nearly €1.17 million. Prefab homes aren’t known for being bold or luxurious, but that’s about to change as Studio F. A. Porsche is getting involved. The...
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.
