NASA's Voyager 1 returns intelligible signal for 1st time in months

The Voyager 1 space probe transmitted an understandable message to Earth for the first time in months after NASA engineers fixed a communication problem in the 47-year-old satellite, the US space agency announced Tuesday.

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 has been continuing its mission in deep space as the farthest human-made object from the Earth at 24.1 billion kilometers (over 14.9 billion miles) from the Earth, has once again transmitted "usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems," NASA said in a statement.
