NASA’s interstellar explorer Voyager 1 is finally communicating with ground control in an understandable way again. On Saturday (April 20), Voyager 1 updated ground control about its health status for the first time in 5 months. While the Voyager 1 spacecraft still isn’t sending valid science data back to Earth, it is now returning usable […]

Voyager 1 resumes sending readable status updates after 5 months of repairs
After a repair effort lasting five months, the Voyager 1 spacecraft is once again sending usable updates on its status, NASA announced Monday. File Image by NASA/JPL-Caltech April 22 (UPI) — The pioneering Voyager 1 deep-space probe is once again sending usable engineering updates back to Earth after five months of repairs, NASA officials announced […]
We finally know why NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft stopped communicating — scientists are working on a fix
NASA engineers have discovered the cause of a communications breakdown between Earth and the interstellar explorer Voyager 1. It would appear that a small portion of corrupted memory exists in one of the spacecraft’s computers. The glitch caused Voyager 1 to send unreadable data back to Earth, and is found in the NASA spacecraft’s flight […]
NASA finds clue while solving Voyager 1’s communication breakdown case
NASA engineers are a step closer to solving the communication problem that left the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which presently sits outside the solar system, unable to send usable data back to Earth. In 2012, Voyager 1 became the first human-made object to leave the solar system and enter interstellar space. For 11 years following this […]
NASA Concerned as Voyager 1 Sending Back Incomprehensible Code
Senile Probe NASA’s two Voyager spacecraft have spent almost half a century traveling through distant space. The probes, which launched less than a month apart in the summer of 1977, have survived a lot, from dwindling power supplies and grimy thrusters to near-fatal software glitches. Voyager 1, in particular, which is currently floating past the generally-defined edge of the […]

‘Voyager 2 is still going strong’
It has been several months since one of humanity’s most accomplished spacecraft, the Voyager 1 probe, stopped talking to us — and though they remain somewhat hopeful, Voyager mission scientists are preparing for the worst: A goodbye. “Sad and frustrated to have the spacecraft still working, but muted,” Bruce Waggoner, the Voyager mission assurance manager, […]
NASA’s interstellar Voyager 1 spacecraft isn’t doing so well — here’s what we know
On Dec. 12, 2023, NASA shared some worrisome news about Voyager 1, the first probe to walk away from our solar system‘s gravitational party and enter the isolation of interstellar space. Surrounded by darkness, Voyager 1 seems to be glitching. It has been out there for more than 45 years, having supplied us with a […]
Novartis signs gene therapy deal with Voyager for $100 million upfront
(Reuters) -Voyager Therapeutics said on Tuesday Swiss-based drugmaker Novartis would pay $100 million upfront as part of a licensing deal to develop gene therapy candidates for genetic disorders. Voyager, whose shares jumped more than 30% in premarket trading, would be eligible to receive up to $1.2 billion on achieving certain milestones. The gene therapy developer […]
