- 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.
