TL;DR Summary

NASA has reestablished communication with Voyager 1, a space probe launched in 1977, after a five-month blackout caused by a faulty chip in its flight system. The probe, now over 24 billion kilometers from Earth, had been sending unintelligible data due to memory corruption. NASA engineers successfully reset the probe's computer system, allowing it to send readable data again. This marks a significant achievement in maintaining the mission's success as Voyager 1 continues its journey through interstellar space.
