15 Billion Miles Away, NASA’s Voyager 1 Comes Back to Life Using 1981 Tech

NASA’s 47-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft recently established contact with Earth after a brief halt with the help of a radio transmitter that has not been used since 1981.

The spacecraft, which is in interstellar space over 15 billion miles away, experienced a brief interruption in communication on October 16 due to a shutdown of one of its transmitters. This shutdown was likely triggered by the spacecraft’s fault protection system, which powers down certain systems when power usage is too high. According to NASA, a message takes around 23 hours to travel one way – from Earth to Voyager… Read More »15 Billion Miles Away, NASA’s Voyager 1 Comes Back to Life Using 1981 Tech
