Voyager 1 conserves power after brief communications pause
Original: voyager 1
NASA's Voyager 1 has resolved a brief pause in communications by conserving power, according to Phys.org. The nearly 50-year-old spacecraft, now the most distant human-made object, continues to send data from beyond the solar system despite dwindling energy supplies. The incident drew fresh attention to the aging probe's remarkable longevity and engineers' efforts to keep it operating.
Why now: News that the iconic decades-old probe overcame another technical hiccup is sparking renewed interest in its survival
