NASA’s Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft from Earth, has resumed sending science data after a computer problem in November. The Jet Propulsion Laboratory stated that all four of Voyager 1’s instruments are back in operation, with the team receiving meaningful data once again in April. Recently, the spacecraft was commanded to resume studying its environment.
Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 is currently traveling through interstellar space, the space between star systems. Prior to reaching this region, the spacecraft made important discoveries such as a thin ring around Jupiter and several of Saturn’s moons. Its instruments are specifically designed to gather information on plasma waves, magnetic fields, and particles.
As of now, Voyager 1 is located over 15 billion miles (24.14 billion kilometers) away from Earth. Its twin spacecraft, Voyager 2, is also in interstellar space and is situated more than 12 billion miles (19.31 billion kilometers) from Earth.
In the latest news, NASA’s Voyager 1 is up and running again, sending valuable data from its distant location in space. With its instruments operational, the spacecraft is continuing to explore and study its surroundings in interstellar space.
