Voyager 1 overcomes its latest challenge to keep operating more than 15 billion miles away
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is functioning normally again after the aging probe’s dwindling power supply triggered a communications blackout. It’s one of several challenges faced by the spacecraft this year.
NASA's Voyager 1 Surprises By Reaching out From 15 Billion Miles Away
The spacecraft—humanity's most distant probe—managed to resumed contact by switching to a secondary radio not used since 1981.

Voyager 1 Activated a Radio It Hadn't Used in 40 Years
T he iconic space probe Voyager 1 was the first manmade object to escape the solar system, traveling at a maximum speed of 38,000 MPH for 35 years to accomplish the feat. The prob
Voyager 1 Just Activated a Radio That's Been Offline Since 1981
Unfortunately, it's also far fainter, and the crew feared that it could no longer be detected from this far away. After all, Voyager 1 hasn't used the S-band transmitter to talk to Earth since 1981, when it was obviously much, much closer to us.
