The engineering team operating the Voyager 1 spacecraft \u2014 NASA\u2019s robotic planetary explorer currently zooming through interstellar space \u2014 is trying to figure out why the spacecraft is sending back data readouts that don\u2019t match<\/a> what the vehicle is actually doing. It\u2019s a mystery that does not seem to be putting the Voyager 1 spacecraft in any immediate jeopardy, but NASA is trying to figure it out nonetheless.<\/p>\n

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 has been exploring the cosmos for nearly half a century. It has a twin, Voyager 2, that was launched 16 days prior in the same year. Both spacecraft did tours of the outer Solar System, flying by planets and photographing moons before eventually traveling outside the boundary of our cosmic neighborhood. In 2012, Voyager 1 passed the heliopause<\/a> \u2014 the boundary where the Sun\u2019s solar wind ends and the interstellar medium begins. At a distance of 14.5 billion miles from Earth, Voyager 1 is the farthest human-made object in space<\/a>.<\/p>\n
