Voyager 1 resumes returning data
Posted: Sat, Apr 27, 2024, 10:12 AM ET (1412 GMT) NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is once again returning data to Earth. NASA said Monday that the spacecraft successfully transmitted engineering data last week, five months after suffering a computer problem that caused the spacecraft to return only garbled data. Engineers traced the problem to a corrupted memory unit in a spacecraft computer and rewrote software to use other memory units on the spacecraft. Additional software revisions are planned to allow the spacecraft to resume sending science data.
