The NASA engineering team managing the iconic Voyager interstellar mission reported two major events in the life of the Voyager 1 probe. Located at an incredible distance of 24 billion kilometers from Earth, the space utility successfully completed a complex procedure to optimize energy consumption, and also managed to independently cope with a sudden communication failure in deep space.
