NASA reconnected with Voyager 1 spacecraft after a brief pause in communications.

The spacecraft recently turned off one of its two radio transmitters.

The transmitter shut-off seems to have been prompted by the spacecraft’s fault protection system.

Voyagers 1 and 2 are the only two spacecraft to operate in interstellar space.
