The spacecraft resumed transmitting after a blackout that lasted between 24 and 48 hours depending on the report. Engineers are investigating the cause, with one report citing a thruster anomaly while NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory noted the probe conserved power. Voyager 1 is now approaching a distance of one light-day from Earth, a milestone it is projected to reach on November 18, 2026, which will result in 48-hour round-trip communication times.Why it mattersLaunched on September 5, 1977,
