After a short interruption in communications with Voyageer 1, NASA re -established a connection with the spacecraft between the stars, which is more than 15 billion miles away from Earth, using a frequency that is not used for more than forty years.
Communication between NASA and Voyager 1 was sometimes intermittent. In fact, the spacecraft stopped sending readable data to the NASA’s jet laboratory in southern California on November 14, 2023, and the task control units until April did not start receiving orders again.
Recently, the spacecraft stopped one of its transmission devices after the suspected engineers were due to the Voyageer 1 rift system, which independently responds to issues on the plane.
For example, if the spacecraft uses a lot of energy from its supply source, it will start protecting faults to maintain energy by turning off unnecessary systems.

The space agency said the flight team sent an order to activate one of the spacecraft heaters on October 16. It takes approximately 23 hours to travel from Earth to the spacecraft, then another 23 hours until the data returns to return.
Engineers suspected that Voyageer 1 should have a lot of energy to run Heather, although the fault protection system has been operated.
On October 18, the team taught this problem, because the Space Deep network was unable to discover the Voyageer 1 signal. Communication between NASA and the spacecraft occurs on the X-PAND radio transmission device, called the frequency it uses.

The fault protection system has reduced the rate that enables the transmission device to send data to NASA, and determined the engineers, thus changing the X-PAND signal to the deep space network needed to listen to it.
Once the signal was placed, it seemed that Voyageer 1 was in a stable condition and the team began investigating what happened.
But on October 19, communication between the team and Voyageer 1 stopped again, this time completely.
The team believes that the Voyageer 1 rift system has been operated twice and has been converted into a second radio transmission called S-PAND, which uses less energy.

Voyageer 1 has not used the S range to communicate with Earth since 1981.
Ultimately, engineers with a deep space network were able to discover the S-Band spacecraft connections. Instead of risking X-Band back before knowing what caused the breakdown protection system, send the team an order on October 22 to confirm the S-Band that was working.
Now, the team is working to collect information to help them know what happened so that it can return Voyageer 1 to normal operations.
