NASA's Voyager 1 Restores Science Operations After Six-Month Glitch

The 46-year-old spacecraft, over 15 billion miles from Earth, resumes data transmission from two instruments with plans to recalibrate two more.

Voyager 1 experienced a computer issue in November 2023, halting science data transmission.
NASA's team identified the problem as corrupted memory in the flight data subsystem.
Commands sent in May 2024 successfully restored data from the plasma wave subsystem and magnetometer.
Efforts continue to fix the cosmic ray subsystem and low-energy charged particle instrument.
Voyager 1, launched in 1977, remains the most distant human-made object, exploring interstellar space.
