Voyager 1 Resumes Full Science Operations After Technical Glitch

NASA's team successfully restored data transmission from all four instruments on the 46-year-old spacecraft, now 15 billion miles from Earth.

Voyager 1 experienced a data transmission issue in November 2023 due to a malfunctioning chip.
Engineers identified the problem and implemented a workaround in April 2024, partially restoring operations.
Full functionality was achieved by June 2024, with all four science instruments now operational.
The spacecraft continues to study plasma waves, magnetic fields, and particles in interstellar space.
Additional maintenance is planned to ensure continued operation as Voyager 1 approaches its 50th anniversary.
