Abstract

The space probe Voyager 1, which is currently about 15 billion miles away from Earth, has resumed sending data back to Earth after a seven-month malfunction. NASA fixed the probe by addressing a problem with one of its computer chips. Voyager 1, along with its sister probe Voyager 2, was launched in 1977 to explore the solar system and interstellar space. The probe is now collecting information about the heliosphere, the region beyond the Sun's magnetic fields and particles, and NASA expects it to continue sharing insights until around 2030.
