NASA has successfully restored intelligible communications with Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft from Earth, after a month-long hiatus due to a faulty computer chip. Flight controllers reconfigured the spacecraft’s coding to bypass the issue, allowing them to receive essential engineering updates. The team continues to work on restoring science data transmission, which takes approximately 22.5 hours to send and receive signals from Voyager 1’s location over 15 billion miles away in interstellar space.
