Voyager 1 Called Home From Interstellar Space. There’s a Problem.
Voyager 1 has been exploring our solar system since 1977. The probe is now in interstellar space, the region outside the heliopause, or the bubble of energetic particles and magnetic fields from the Sun. Voyager 1 was launched after Voyager 2, but because of a faster route it exited the asteroid belt earlier than its twin, and it overtook Voyager 2 on Dec. 15, 1977.
NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft, the farthest human-made object in space at 15 billion miles from Earth, has finally re-established contact with Earth after days of silence. It used a radio transmitter that hadn’t been used since 1981 to contact the team on the ground.
Although this connection is temporary, it allows the team to figure out what’s causing the problem.
