NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has been drifting in space since leaving the heliosphere in 1989, has resumed transmitting data to Earth after experiencing communication issues since November 2020. The spacecraft, currently 24 billion kilometers away, has been sending indecipherable data for the past five months due to a fault in one of its three computers. It takes over 22 hours for Voyager 1's messages to reach Earth. Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, were originally tasked with studying Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Both spacecrafts became the first human-made objects to enter interstellar space in 1989 and 2012, respectively. NASA is now working on getting Voyager 1 to transmit scientific data once again.
