NASA engineers have revived a set of thrusters on Voyager 1 that were believed to be inoperable since 2004—just in time before a long communications blackout. This bold move could extend the life of the iconic 47-year-old spacecraft as it journeys through interstellar space. Facing clogged thruster fuel lines and an upcoming pause in command capabilities due to Deep Space Network upgrades, the Jet Propulsion Lab team made a daring fix that defied the odds. Learn how this last-minute miracle may keep Voyager 1 alive and sending data from over 15 billion miles away.🚀 Topics Covered:
