Voyager 1 starts transmitting useable data again for first time in five months - after appearing to have broken 負かす／撃墜する nearly 50 years into its outer space 旅行

- The 伝説の 調査（する） had for months been transmitting gibberish 支援する to Earth
The １０年間s-old 航空宇宙局 Voyager 1 宇宙船 has begun sending readable communications again after months of transmitting gibberish.
Voyager 1 ? the most distant human-made 反対する in 存在 ? has been sending 支援する data from interstellar space for nearly 50 years after 存在 開始する，打ち上げるd in 1977.?
However, in November a glitch occurred that made the 宇宙船's data about its 環境 and the health of its own systems unintelligible to the 航空宇宙局 scientists 監視するing it.
Famous for snapping photos of?Jupiter,?Saturn?and their moons,?Voyager 1 then returned readable communications on April 20, 確認するing it is still 安全に 巡航するing outer space.?
航空宇宙局's 公式の／役人 Twitter account for the （手先の）技術 地位，任命するd a light-hearted tweet in 祝賀: 'Hi, it's me. - V1'.
Voyager 1 is about 136 AU (15 billion miles, or 20 billion キロメーターs) from Earth, the farthest 反対する created by humans, and moving at a velocity of about 38,000 mph (17.0 キロメーターs/second) 親族 to the sun

The account also 株d a tweet from the 公式の／役人 account for 航空宇宙局's Jet Propulsion 研究室／実験室 showing an image of the elated scientists clapping with joy at Voyager 1's 最新の data 始める，決める.?
'Sounding a little more like yourself, #Voyager1' the account wrote.???
'For the first time since November, Voyager 1 is returning useable data about the health and status of its onboard 工学 systems,' it explained.
'Next step: Enable the 宇宙船 to begin returning science data again.'
The Voyager flight team traced the November glitch 支援する to?a 選び出す／独身 半導体素子 機能不全 in the 'flight data subsystem' (FDS) ? the part 責任がある sending its data 支援する to Earth.
The broken 半導体素子 held some of the computer code necessary for transmitting workable data.?
'The loss of that code （判決などを）下すd the science and 工学 data unusable,' 航空宇宙局 said in a 声明 on Monday.
'Unable to 修理 the 半導体素子, the team decided to place the 影響する／感情d code どこかよそで in the FDS memory.'?

However, the team's code 実験 worked and the data began to be readable once more.
'Finding 解答s to challenges the 調査（する）s 遭遇（する） often entails 協議するing 初めの, １０年間s-old 文書s written by engineers who didn't 心配する the 問題／発行するs that are arising today,' 航空宇宙局 said in December after the 発見 of the glitch.?
'During the coming weeks, the team will relocate and adjust the other 影響する／感情d 部分s of the FDS ソフトウェア,' 航空宇宙局 said in its updated 声明 on Monday.?
'These 含む the 部分s that will start returning science data.'?

Yet the team hopes to keep the 器具s needed to 送信する／伝染させる data about its 環境 going until at least 2025.

航空宇宙局 開始する，打ち上げるd the Voyager 1 宇宙船 on September 5 1977, and the Voyager 2 on August 20 1977.
Each 宇宙船 carries a golden 記録，記録的な／記録する on board ? a 記録，記録的な／記録する that 含むs sounds, pictures and messages of Earth.
Continuing on their more than 37-year 旅行 since their 1977 開始する，打ち上げるs, they each are much さらに先に away from Earth and the sun than Pluto.?
In August 2012, Voyager 1 made the historic 入ること／参加（者） into interstellar space, the 地域 between 星／主役にするs, filled with 構成要素 排除する／（飛行機などから）緊急脱出するd by the death of nearby 星／主役にするs millions of years ago.?

This archival photo shows engineers working on the Voyager 2 宇宙船 on March 23, 1977. Voyager 2 is the only 宇宙船 to have flown by all four outer 惑星s ? Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune

The 最初の／主要な 使節団 was the 探検 of Jupiter and Saturn.?
The 使節団 was 延長するd after making a string of 発見s there?― such as active 火山s on Jupiter's moon Io and the intricacies of Saturn's （犯罪の）一味s.?
Voyager 2 went on to 調査する Uranus and Neptune and is still the only 宇宙船 to have visited those outer 惑星s.?
The adventurers' 現在の 使節団, the Voyager Interstellar 使節団 (VIM), will 調査する the outermost 辛勝する／優位 of the Sun's domain ― and beyond.
