For the first time in five months, engineers realm team NASA have received decipherable data from Voyager 1 after crafting a creative solution to fix a communication problem aboard humanity’s most distant spacecraft in the cosmos.

Voyager 1

The mission team received the first coherent data about the health and status of Voyager 1’s engineering systems on April 20. While the team is still reviewing the information, everything they’ve seen so far suggests Voyager 1 is healthy and operating properly.

Voyager 1 Status

The team estimates it’s a few weeks away from receiving science data from Voyager 1 and looks forward to seeing what that data contains.
