Interstellar Voyager 1 resumes operations after pause in communications with NASA
Fox News
NASA and Voyager 1 resumed communications and operations after a fault protection system switched the interstellar spacecraft's mode of communication to one using less power.
The interstellar spacecraft is currently located about 15.4 billion miles away from Earth and the S-band had not been used in over 40 years. Greg Wehner is a breaking news reporter for Fox News Digital.
Communication between NASA and Voyager 1 has been spotty at times and the switch to the lower band prevented the Voyager mission team from downloading science data and information about the spacecraft’s status. Story tips and ideas can be sent to Greg.Wehner@Fox.com and on Twitter @GregWehner.
