     • NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is fully operational once more, with all four science instruments returning usable data to Earth. The problems began in November 2023, when Voyager 1 lost its ability to "speak" with us. More specifically, it started sending to Earth unintelligible data instead of its normal 0s and 1s of binary code.

   What happened to Voyager 1?

   • In May 2022, NASA reported that Voyager 1 had begun transmitting "mysterious" and "peculiar" telemetric data to the Deep Space Network (DSN). It confirmed that the operational status of the craft remained unchanged, but that the issue stemmed from the Attitude Articulation and Control System (AACS).

   How did Voyager 1 & 2 work?

   • Voyager 1 and its twin probe, Voyager 2, were launched in 1977 on a mission to explore the outer planets. NASA capitalized on a rare alignment in the solar system that enabled the probes to visit the four outer planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune — by using the gravity of each to swing to the next.

   When did Voyager 1 send back intelligible data?

   • 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.

   When did the Voyager Interstellar Mission start?

   • The Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM) began on Jan, 1, 1990. The goal was to extend exploration to the outer limits of the Sun’s sphere of influence and beyond. On Feb. 17, 1998, Voyager 1 became the most distant human-made object in existence when — at a distance of 69.4 AU from the Sun — it “overtook” Pioneer 10.

   How fast does Voyager leave the Solar System?

   • In 2013 Voyager 1 was exiting the Solar System at a speed of about 3.6 AU (330 million mi; 540 million km) per year, while Voyager 2 is going slower, leaving the Solar System at 3.3 AU (310 million mi; 490 million km) per year. [ 84 ] Each year, Voyager 1 increases its lead over Voyager 2.

    4 days ago · As of 2018, Voyager 2 was 166 AU from Voyager 1, a separation that has grown in the 6 years since then. As of October 30th, 2024, Voyager 1 is 165 AU from Earth. Second, Voyager 2’s receivers are much, much less capable than Earth’s giant Deep Space Network antennae. Voyager 1 and 2 have 3.66m (12-foot) dish antenna for their 22-watt radios.
