NASA has successfully reactivated Voyager 1’s backup thrusters, unused since 2004, in what NASA is calling a "miracle save" for the 48 years old probe now in deep space.

NASA engineers have revived old thrusters on Voyager 1 to prevent a clog from endangering the mission during a planned communications blackout.

NASA and Voyager 1 resumed communications and operations after a fault protection system switched the interstellar spacecraft's mode of communication to one using less power.

Science Voyager 1 Activated a Radio It Hadn't Used in 40 Years The switch caused NASA to lose contact with the far-flying probe for a few days in October.

Voyager 1 Breaks Its Silence With NASA via a Radio Transmitter Not Used Since 1981 The farthest spacecraft in the universe went momentarily rogue, but scientists breathed a sigh of relief when it ...

The space agency reconnected with Voyager 1 five days later using a radio transmitter that the probe hadn’t used since 1981.

NASA said that Voyager 1 suddenly stopped transmitting after its onboard emergency system activated without warning.

A software glitch is making NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft act a little bit haunted this Halloween season. On October 17, Voyager 1 switched its main radio transmitter to a different frequency ...

NASA lost contact with the interstellar Voyager 1 spacecraft for nearly a week after a technical glitch shut off the probe's main transmitter. Using Voyager's weaker backup transmitter, engineers ...
