After months of troubleshooting, NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory has successfully reconnected with Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft from Earth. The spacecraft has been experiencing communication issues since November due to a malfunction in its flight data subsystem, but engineers have managed to restore contact by rerouting code within the system. Voyager 1 is now sending back usable data about its health and status, allowing scientists to continue their research on interstellar space. The spacecraft’s return to communication is a testament to the ingenuity and dedication of the JPL team, and highlights the importance of these historic spacecraft in our exploration of the cosmos.
