Voyager 1 stopped sending back gibberish in place of the neatly organized and data-rich 0 's and 1's it had been providing since its launch in 1977 .
The spacecraft relayed vital insight that led to the discovery of new Jovian moons and created the solar system's first and only "family portrait" It takes about 22.5 hours for a transmission to reach the spacecraft, and then 225 hours to receive a transmission back.
Voyager 1 is still roaming beyond the distant boundaries of our stellar neighborhood just like its spacecraft twin, Voyager 2 .
The spacecraft isn't fully fixed yet, but it's lovely to know things are finally looking up, especially with the recent news that some of its science instruments are back on track.
Voyager 1 operators first became optimistic about the situation just after the root cause of the glitch had been determined.
Voyager 1 has carved out the kind of legacy usually reserved for remarkable things lost to time.
"Our scientists are eager to see what they’ve been missing," Rasmussen remarked.
"No one was ever especially excited or depressed," Rasmussen said.
"We're dealing with an aging spacecraft that is bound to have trouble again in the future," he said.
