Voyager 1 is back online! NASA's most distant spacecraft returns data from all 4 instruments
NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is fully operational once more, with all four science instruments returning usable data to Earth. After the team relocated the code to a new location in the FDS, Voyager 1 finally sent back intelligible data on April 20, 2024 - but only from two of its four science instruments. Now that Voyager 1 is back online, the team will continue to “Touch up” the spacecraft to get it back in top form, including resynchronizing its timekeeping software to execute commands at the right time, as well as performing maintenance on the digital tape recorder that measures plasma waves.
