NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft has resumed regular operations after a month-long communication pause.

In late October, it unexpectedly switched off its primary X-band radio transmitter, forcing the team to use a backup, weaker transmitter.

However, the team successfully reactivated the X-band transmitter earlier this month and resumed data collection.

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 is now 15 billion miles from Earth, facing challenges due to its age and power limitations, Gizmodo has reported.

Despite running low on power, the spacecraft continues to provide valuable data from interstellar space.
