NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft resumed sending engineering updates to Earth after a 5-month hiatus due to a communication problem.

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft, launched in 1977, has resumed sending engineering updates to Earth after a five-month hiatus due to a communication problem. Engineers created a solution by transferring the code in the faulty chip to three other locations within the computer, a complex process that required long waits for confirmation. The successful completion of these changes allowed Voyager 1 to send back readable engineering data, with the scientific data reports still being addressed.
