Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Usable Data After Seven-Month Hiatus

NASA engineers successfully restored the 47-year-old probe's four science instruments, allowing it to continue its mission in interstellar space.

Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object, is over 15 billion miles from Earth.
The probe experienced technical issues in November 2023, sending back unreadable data.
NASA identified the problem as a corrupted chip in the flight data subsystem and devised a workaround.
All four science instruments are now operational, providing data on plasma waves, magnetic fields, and particles.
Engineers continue to perform maintenance tasks to ensure Voyager 1's longevity.
