The spacecraft has resumed full science operations after a technical issue began creating complications in November 2023.
NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is fully operational once more, with all four science instruments returning usable data to Earth.
After the team relocated the code to a new location in the FDS, Voyager 1 finally sent back intelligible data on April 20, 2024 — but only from two of its four science instruments.
Now, just two months later, Voyager 1’s remaining two science instruments are back up and running, communicating effectively with mission control on Earth.
Continuing its journey away from Earth, the spacecraft entered interstellar space in 2012, returning crucial data about this mysterious realm.
Now that Voyager 1 is back online, the team will continue to “touch up” the spacecraft to get it back in top form, including resynchronizing its timekeeping software to execute commands at the right time, as well as performing maintenance on the digital tape recorder that measures plasma waves.
