NASA engineers discover why a stream of gibberish from outside our solar system is coming from
Voyager 1 has been sending a stream of gibberish from outside our solar system since November. NASA engineers have identified the fault and found a potential workaround. Voyager 1 will continue to send data from the solar system for the next few months. Voyager's mission is scheduled to take off from Earth in September.
A ‘poke’ sent to the Voyager 1 probe received a response that could help NASA restore reliable communication with the aging spacecraft 15 billion miles away. Voyager 1 is now 15 billion years old and could be restored to reliable communication. NASA: A “poke” sent to Voyager 1 has received a surprising response from Voyager 1.
Voyager 1 and 2 started their one-way journey across our galaxy in 1977. Jonathan Margolis meets the dedicated team keeping the craft moving. Voyager is now 40 years old and travelling a million miles a day. Voyager 1 is the oldest craft in the history of space travel.
