Were back in communication with the spacecraft.
And we look forward to getting science data back.
The 46-year-old spaceship stopped sending readable data back to Earth on November 14, 2023.
It is the FDS that is responsible for packaging the data before it is shot back to Earth.
The next step is to activate the spacecraft to begin returning science data again.
As both the voyagers travel through space, scientists have encountered problems with communication in the past as well.
There was a seven-month period in 2020 when the team at NASA was not receiving communication from Voyager 2.
But issues such as these have been dealt with along the way.
Weve had many anomalies, and they are getting harder.
But weve been fortunate so far to recover from them.
And the mission keeps going.
And younger engineers are coming onto the Voyager team and contributing their knowledge to keep the mission going.
