NASA’s Voyager 1 Resumes Regular Operations After Communications Pause
Published: November 26, 2024 20:56
NASA’s Voyager 1 has resumed regular operations 1 following a pause in communication last month. The probe had unexpectedly turned off its primary radio transmitter, called an X-band transmitter, and turned on the much weaker S-band transmitter. Due to the…
After Pause, NASA’s Voyager 1 Communicating With Mission Team
Published: October 28, 2024 21:19
On Oct. 24, NASA reconnected with the Voyager 1 spacecraft after a brief pause in communications. The spacecraft recently turned off one of its two radio transmitters, and the team is now working to determine what caused the issue. The transmitter shut-off…
NASA Turns Off Science Instrument to Save Voyager 2 Power

Published: September 10, 2024 19:05
Engineers working on NASA’s Voyager 1 probe have successfully mitigated an issue with the spacecraft’s thrusters, which keep the distant explorer pointed at Earth so that it can receive commands, send engineering data, and provide the unique science data…
Voyager 1 Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments
Published: June 13, 2024 23:53
NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is conducting normal science operations for the first time following a technical issue that arose in November 2023. The team partially resolved the issue in April when they prompted the spacecraft to begin returning engineering…
Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Science Data from Two Instruments
Published: May 22, 2024 19:55
Voyager 1 has resumed returning science data from two of its four instruments for the first time since a computer issue arose with the spacecraft in November 2023. The mission’s science instrument teams are now determining steps to recalibrate the…
NASA’s Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Engineering Updates to Earth
Published: April 22, 2024 16:00
For the first time since November, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems. The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again. The probe and its twin,…
Engineers Pinpoint Cause of Voyager 1 Issue, Are Working on Solution
Published: April 4, 2024 17:59
Engineers have confirmed that a small portion of corrupted memory in one of the computers aboard NASA’s Voyager 1 has been causing the spacecraft to send unreadable science and engineering data to Earth since last November. Called the flight data subsystem…
