NASA is attempting to fix a communication error on Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object from Earth, which has been traveling for over 46 years and is now 15 billion miles away. The spacecraft's computer problem has disrupted data transmission, but after sending a command to "poke" the spacecraft, engineers received a new signal containing the spacecraft's entire memory. Engineers will compare this readout to diagnose the problem and hopefully resume data transmission. Voyager 2, Voyager 1's sister craft, is functioning normally, and both are the only spacecraft in interstellar space.
