Nasa's Voyager 1 reconnects with scientists 15 billion miles away from Earth
Nasa scientists are celebrating as, after a period of silence, the craft recently called home again using a bit of kit that it hasn't used for more than forty years.
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.
Voyager 1 is alive: NASA spacecraft reawakens 15 billion miles away from Earth
On October 16th, Voyager 1's fault protection system kicked in, a safety measure designed to preserve the spacecraft's limited power.
NASA spacecraft launched 47 years ago suddenly goes silent 15 billion miles from Earth, then scientists have an idea
Voyager 1 is now in interstellar space and if anyone ever finds it they will discover a gold disc including 117 images, human and natural-made sounds and greetings in 54 languages
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.
