NEW DELHI: Nasa has successfully restored Voyager 1 to working order several months after it encountered a grave computer problem. The spacecraft, which has been transmitting data about the outer planets and the far reaches of the solar system for nearly fifty years, faced a significant issue that threatened its mission.“The spacecraft has resumed gathering … Read more
NEW DELHI: After five months of silence, Nasa‘s Voyager 1 spacecraft is back in touch with Earth, having overcome a perplexing communication glitch through an innovative fix. The probe, which is currently 15 billion miles away from Earth, experienced issues with its flight data system’s telemetry modulation unit in November 2023, resulting in indecipherable data … Read more
Last November, the Voyager 1 spacecraft began sending gibberish radio signals back to Earth. Engineers have now identified the problem, but trying to repair a 46-year-old device on a craft 24 billion kilometres from Earth is not easy. Voyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2 were both launched in 1977 on a reconnaissance mission to … Read more
When Voyager 1 launched in 1977, scientists hoped it could do what it was built to do and take up-close images of Jupiter and Saturn. It did that — and much more. Voyager 1 discovered active volcanoes, moons and planetary rings, proving along the way that Earth and all of humanity could be squished into … Read more
