"Voyager 1's Surprising Communication Breakthrough with Earth"
TL;DR Summary
NASA engineers sent a "poke" to the Voyager 1 probe and received a promising response after a five-month communication issue. The decoded signal from the spacecraft's flight data system is being analyzed to potentially find the source of the ongoing problem, but devising a solution will take time due to the spacecraft's distance from Earth. Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, are the farthest and longest-operating spacecraft in history, providing valuable insights about our solar system and beyond despite encountering unexpected issues as they age.
