Given Voyager 1’s immense distance from Earth, it takes a radio signal about 22.5 hours to reach the probe, and another 22.5 hours for a response signal from the spacecraft to reach Earth.
Voyager 1’s flight data system collects information from the spacecraft’s science instruments and bundles it with engineering data that reflects its current health status.
Voyager 1 has been traveling through space since 1977, and some scientists hoped it could keep sending back science data for 50 years. But a serious glitch has put that milestone in jeopardy.
What Voyager 1’s near-death experience says about the future of space exploration Scientists recently had to repair the Voyager probe from afar. How much longer can they keep it alive?
Science Voyager 1 Activated a Radio It Hadn't Used in 40 Years The switch caused NASA to lose contact with the far-flying probe for a few days in October.
NASA reconnected with Voyager 1, which is located nearly 15 billion miles away from Earth, after a brief pause that triggered the spacecraft's fault protection system.
Engineers have mitigated an issue with Voyager 1’s thrusters, enabling the mission to stay in touch with mission controllers on Earth and send back unique data.
NASA engineers are turning off two instruments on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to ensure these twin spacecraft can continue exploring interstellar space.
Voyager 1 communications have once again hit a snap, with the interstellar probe somehow turning off its main radio transmitter.
