US EditionVoyager 1: NASA's longest-running spacecraft back in touch with Earth after five months of silence
- NASA engineers have successfully received decipherable data from Voyager 1, resolving a communication issue on the spacecraft located 15 billion miles away.
- The mission team confirmed Voyager 1's proper operation and health status after relocating malfunctioning software code to fix the communication problem.
- A single malfunctioning chip storing system memory caused the communication issue, which was resolved by relocating the affected code within Voyager 1's memory.

NASA hears from Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft from Earth, after months of quiet
NASA has finally heard back from Voyager 1 again in a way that makes sense. The most distant spacecraft from Earth stopped sending back understandable data last November. Flight controllers traced the blank communication to a bad computer chip and rearranged the spacecraft’s coding to work around the trouble. NASA’s…
The mission's team, after five months, manages to verify for the first time the health and condition of the remotest man-made object in existence.
NASA hears from Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft from Earth, after months of quiet
CAPE CANAVERAL, Fla. (AP) — NASA has finally heard back from Voyager 1 again in a way that makes sense. The most distant spacecraft from Earth stopped sending back understandable data last November. Flight controllers traced the blank communication to a bad computer chip and rearranged the spacecraft’s coding to work around the trouble. NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California declared success after receiving good engineering upda…
