NASA's critical issue with Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object in space—now over 25 billion kilometers from Earth, has been fixed.
The spacecraft had been sending back “ghostly” and garbled signals due to a malfunction in its Flight Data Subsystem (FDS), raising concerns about its future. Despite the enormous distance—which causes a one-day delay in communication—engineers managed to diagnose and resolve the issue.
Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 continues its journey through interstellar space, sending back invaluable data decades after its mission began.
