NASA’s Voyager 1 Resumes Normal Operation After Weeks-Long Blackout

NASA has reestablished contact with Voyager 1 after a weeks-long blackout caused by a power issue. In October 2024, the spacecraft switched to a weaker S-band radio transmitter due to reduced power. Now operating normally, Voyager 1, the farthest spacecraft from Earth, is exploring uncharted space nearly 15.4 billion miles (24.9 billion km) away.
