NASA’s Voyager 1 jumpstarts radio transmitter unused since 1981 to ‘phone home’ from 15.4 billion miles into space
The 47-year-old NASA Voyager 1 fell back on a radio transmitter it hadn’t used since 1981 to ping home base after a technical issue caused a days-long communication stall between Earth and the farthest-ever recorded spacecraft.
Aging spacecraft starts up a radio transmitter it hasn’t used since 1981 from 15 billion miles away
Voyager 1 relays messages to NASA’s mission control team after losing contact due to a technical issue. The aging spacecraft is relying on an old radio transmitter.
NASA reconnects with interstellar Voyager 1 spacecraft using technology not used in decades
NASA reconnected with Voyager 1, which is located nearly 15 billion miles away from Earth, after a brief pause that triggered the spacecraft's fault protection system.
Voyager 1 Reconnects With Earth Over Radio Transmitter That Hasn’t Been Used In 47 Years
Voyager 1 remains humanity’s furthest outpost, hurtling across interstellar space at 38,210 miles per hour. However, NASA lost communication with the beloved space probe on October 19. The space agency reconnected with Voyager 1 five days later using a radio transmitter that the probe hadn’t used since 1981.
