NASA Restores Communications with Voyager 1, Ending 2023 Power Glitch
After a communication failure caused by a power glitch in October, NASA has restored contact with Voyager 1. The spacecraft, now 15.4 billion miles away, continues to transmit data from its remaining instruments. The probe's systems were affected by energy limitations, but the problem was resolved in November, allowing its scientific mission to con...

15 Billion Miles Away, NASA's Voyager 1 Comes Back To Life Using 1981 Tech
NASA's 47-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft recently established contact with Earth after a brief halt with the help of a radio transmitter that has not been used since 1981.

NASA Engineers Restore Voyager 1 Communications After 15 Billion-Mile Transmission Disruption
NASA successfully reconnected with Voyager 1 after an unexpected communication disruption caused by a shutdown of the spacecraft’s primary transmitter. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California pinpointed the cause as Voyager’s fault protection system, which manages power by shutting down non-essential systems. With a second...

Voyager 1's Thruster Swap Ensures Continued Operation of Aging Spacecraft in Interstellar Space
Voyager 1, NASA's most distant spacecraft, recently underwent a crucial thruster adjustment to maintain its orientation and data transmission capabilities. The 47-year-old spacecraft faced challenges due to ageing components and power limitations, requiring careful engineering solutions. Despite these issues, Voyager 1 continues to send valuable da...

NASA’s Artemis I on Its Trajectory to Moon After Launching Successfully in Third Attempt
NASA's Artemis I was on course Wednesday for a crewless voyage around the moon and back hours after blasting off from Florida on its debut flight, half a century after the final lunar mission of the Apollo era. The 32-story-tall Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 1:47am EST (12:17pm IST), piercing the bl...

Data Glitch on Voyager 1 Resolved, Team to Continue Search for Root Cause of the Problem
As the issue came to light, NASA engineers went ahead and tried to diagnose it. And, after a thorough investigation, the team found that the AACS was sending the telemetry data through a computer onboard the spacecraft. This computer had stopped working years ago and was corrupting the data delivered by AACS.

NASA Voyager 1's Probe Is the Closest Humanity Can Get to Immortality, Claims Expert
James Edward Huchingson, Professor emeritus and lecturer of Religion and Science at Florida International University, has published a piece to throw light on what the Voyager Probes could teach about humanity and legacy. The Golden Records have messages packed in a bottle, which include spoken greetings in 55 languages, sounds, and images from natu...

NASA's Voyager 1 Space Probe Detects 'Persistent Hum' 14 Billion Miles From Earth
NASA's Voyager 1 probe has picked up an uncanny humming sound coming from space. Scientists now say instruments aboard the distant spacecraft have detected a “persistent hum” generated by the constant vibration of small amounts of gas in interstellar space.
