NASA reconnects with interstellar Voyager 1 spacecraft using technology not used in decades
NASA reconnected with Voyager 1, which is located nearly 15 billion miles away from Earth, after a brief pause that triggered the spacecraft's fault protection system.
NASA's Voyager finally phoned home with a device unused since 1981
NASA's farthest spacecraft, Voyager 1, is running low on power but carries on its journey through interstellar space. Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech illustration At 15.4 billion miles away from Earth in interstellar space, Voyager 1 won't last much longer.
Voyager 1 is alive: NASA spacecraft reawakens 15 billion miles away from Earth
On October 16th, Voyager 1's fault protection system kicked in, a safety measure designed to preserve the spacecraft's limited power.
15 Billion Miles Away, NASA’s Voyager 1 Breaks Its Silence
NASA reconnected with Voyager 1 after a fault protection system prompted the spacecraft to turn off a transmitter. Engineers at JPL are investigating the incident, facing the challenge of managing commands and data over a 15 billion-mile distance.
NASA Turns On Backup Radio Not Used Since 1981 To Ping Voyager 1 15 Billion Miles Away
The space agency reported Voyager 1 recently turned off one of its two radio transmitters, and the team is currently working to figure out what caused it.
Aging spacecraft starts up a radio transmitter it hasn’t used since 1981 from 15 billion miles away
Voyager 1 relays messages to NASA’s mission control team after losing contact due to a technical issue. The aging spacecraft is relying on an old radio transmitter.
