After five months of communication difficulties, NASA engineers have successfully restored contact with Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft in the cosmos. The probe experienced a communication glitch in November 2023, sending indecipherable data. Through a creative troubleshooting process, the team identified a faulty chip causing the problem and devised a solution to store the affected code elsewhere in the system’s memory. On April 20, Voyager 1 sent readable engineering data, indicating the success of the fix. The team will continue to relocate affected software parts and anticipates receiving science data in the coming weeks, despite Voyager 1’s advanced age and immense distance from Earth.
