Voyager 1 Shuts Off Systems to Fix Communications Pause
Original: NASA's Voyager 1 Conserves Power, Resolves Brief Communications Pause
NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory reports that Voyager 1 briefly went silent after a pause in communications and resolved the issue by conserving power, shutting off some of its systems. Engineers on Earth managed to restore contact with the nearly 50-year-old spacecraft, which continues to operate in interstellar space despite diminishing power supplies.
Why now: Voyager 1, humanity's most distant spacecraft, remains a source of fascination as engineers keep it alive decades past its expected mission.
