Interstellar Voyager 1 resumes operations after pause in communications with NASA

NASA's interstellar spacecraft Voyager 1 has resumed operations after a temporary pause in communication with the agency. The fault protection system had switched the spacecraft's mode of communication to one that used less power, leading to the temporary disruption. However, NASA and the Voyager 1 team have since resolved the issue and restored regular communication with the spacecraft. Voyager 1, launched in 1977, is currently the farthest human-made object from Earth, having traveled over 14 billion miles (23 billion kilometers) from our planet. It continues to send valuable data back to Earth, providing insights into the interstellar medium and the outer reaches of our solar system. This latest incident serves as a reminder of the challenges faced in maintaining communication with such a distant and long-lived spacecraft, but also highlights the resilience and dedication of the NASA team in ensuring the mission's continued success.
