The models of the RANIERI range

Ranieri Voyager 21 S

• With an excellent helming experience, plenty of storage, lashings of style and a high-quality fit-out, it’s a very satisfying plaything indeed. 
• The 21 S possesses enough classical Italian flavour to excite in a way few boats in its sector can match.
• Though modest in outright terms, the performance of the Ranieri, within its family-friendly 40-knot bracket, is outstanding.

Alex Smith heads for the Italian lakes to test Ranieri’s latest G2-equipped dayboat.

Ranieri are an Italian boatbuilder with a reputation for sporting intent. Only one of the 40-plus boats in their outboard-powered fleet exceeds the 30ft mark by a substantial margin – and even that retains a healthy degree of Italian automotive vigour and flamboyance. In fact, the modern Ranieri yard oversees a range that encompasses every mainstream form of small sports boat around. It builds RIBs from 18 to 30 feet, as well as hard boats in Sun deck, Cabin and Sports Fishing form, but it’s the company’s lighter, more simplistic Open line of craft that concerns us here.

Known as the Voyager line, it comprises 12 models in 11 hull lengths from 15 to 30 feet. The 21 S sits right in the middle of that range and shares a lot of the traits that have helped make Ranieri’s more recent boats feel so distinctive. In particular, a tremendous degree of effort has been expended on the detail in the mouldings. From the deep, recessed curve on the hull sides to the flat planes of the angled forepeak and the complex moulding flourishes of the engine well and the console, it’s a level of effort that goes way beyond practical necessity. In tandem with the aggressive-looking hull steps, the stainless steel trim and the sculpted, low-profile deck furniture, it makes this boat look and feel far more exotic than its basic purpose as a recreational dayboat implies.

Mediterranean Layout & Style

Like various other craft in this line, the new 21 S features a walk-through transom for easy boarding, alongside cockpit seating that helps preserve an unbroken passage all the way down the port side from the swim platform to the bow locker. The entire front end can function either as a sunbathing platform or as a dining area – but given its generous length and the fact that its seat bases are so deep that they force you into a semi-lounging position rather than a regular seated position, it is at its best when configured as a sun deck.

Back in the cockpit, access to the console space is achieved by means of a sliding door directly ahead of the navigator’s seat pod – and it’s a very impressive example of its type. In addition to being great to look at, it contains plenty of compartmentalised storage, plus a useful space that extends forward beneath the foredeck and a dedicated locker for the optional sea toilet. It’s not a place you would want to linger for any great length of time, but the storage capacity is ample, headroom is decent, light is OK, and for a sporting open boat of this type it provides much more than we have a right to expect.

This pleasing combination of style and practicality persists elsewhere, not least in the quality of the stainless steel fittings. The cleats are large, masculine and radically angular, the thickset screen rim with its integrated aft hand loop is reminiscent of something from the Windy stable, and the pentagonal cylinders that anchor the grab rails to the gunwales are strangely pleasurable to behold. The firm, low-profile cushions are equally lovely – and while they’re not quite as hard as previous incarnations, they still lend the fit-out a stylish, sculptural look, while providing great comfort, particularly at the wrap-around helm seats and on the compact aft bench.

However, there are some strange design quirks here. The anchor locker hinges the wrong way, with an aperture that opens into the wind, and the boarding points amidships are in great need of some tread plates to improve grip as you make your way onto the boat from the pontoon. More crucially, though, while the helm ergonomics are very sound indeed, the position of the right-hand throttle raises a key issue. In common with comparable top-mount controls from most engine manufacturers, the test boat’s single-engine binnacle throttle has no neutral release, so it only takes minor contact from your thigh or a loop on your jacket to activate it as you walk fore and aft along the starboard walkway. It can be stiffened by means of screws on the front panel, which is ideal for the keen driver who wants more feel, but it would be good to see either a dedicated guard or a shift to a left-handed mounting position, where it is unlikely to be compromised by passing traffic.

Evidence of Pedigree

Though modest in outright terms, the performance of the Ranieri, within its family-friendly 40-knot bracket, is outstanding. At idle, with Evinrude’s new G2 outboard sitting on the transom, all is serene and relaxed with no noise and no perceptible fumes to turn you green, waste your fuel or spoil your day. Put the throttle down, however, and it’s all action. We leap onto the plane within just 2 seconds and push on to the 40-knot top end in little over 15. We’ve all seen stepped hulls on recreational boats that are more to do with cosmetic enhancement than dynamic ability, but in the case of the 21 S, there’s no mistaking the pace and running efficiency.

As you would expect, she corners relatively flat, but there’s still plenty of grip available, and the retention of pace, with that torque-rich outboard powering you on, is extremely gratifying. If you turn at pace while trimmed out a little, there’s some attractive slide, but it’s by no means a hairy experience. On the contrary, with the pivot point directly beneath the helm, it doesn’t take long before you find yourself gleefully exploring the dynamic balance between grip and slide to fine effect. We seem to be propped to top out at around 4950rpm, which is significantly short of the quoted maximum, but for most of us, a modest top end is a small price to pay for a driving experience as agile, responsive and engaging as this.

However, while the skipper’s position fits like a glove, enabling you to enjoy the drive to the utmost, the navigator’s position is not up to the same standard. There’s no foot brace to push yourself back into the lumbar support, and the screen’s grabbing point is so far removed that the only way to access it is to stand up ahead of the seat. Given that Ranieri need to preserve decent access to the console’s sliding door, this is not a quirk that can be easily remedied. From a personal perspective, I’m perfectly content to stand on a boat like this, but if you prefer to take a seat, the secure but windswept aft bench might just be the better option. 

It’s difficult to assess what this boat is really capable of on a misty, windless lake in northern Italy, but I’ve tested a few craft in this range and, like the rest of the Voyager models, the 21 S possesses enough classical Italian flavour to excite in a way few boats in its sector can match. It is a well-built boat that runs efficiently with a proper driver’s helm and an impressively uncompromising hull. True, there are some design peculiarities here and there, and at around £40,000 it’s not the cheapest 20ft dayboating option you can buy, but with an excellent helming experience, plenty of storage, lashings of style and a high-quality fit-out, it’s a very satisfying plaything indeed.

• Tremendous pickup
• Impressive fit and finish

NASA’s Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Engineering Updates to Earth

NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is depicted in this artist’s concept traveling through interstellar space, or the space between stars, which it entered in 2012.

After some inventive sleuthing, the mission team can — for the first time in five months — check the health and status of the most distant human-made object in existence.

For the first time since November , NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems. The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again. The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between stars).

Voyager 1 stopped sending readable science and engineering data back to Earth on Nov. 14, 2023, even though mission controllers could tell the spacecraft was still receiving their commands and otherwise operating normally. In March, the Voyager engineering team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California confirmed that the issue was tied to one of the spacecraft’s three onboard computers, called the flight data subsystem (FDS). The FDS is responsible for packaging the science and engineering data before it’s sent to Earth.

After receiving data about the health and status of Voyager 1 for the first time in five months, members of the Voyager flight team celebrate in a conference room at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory on April 20.

The team discovered that a single chip responsible for storing a portion of the FDS memory — including some of the FDS computer’s software code — isn’t working. The loss of that code rendered the science and engineering data unusable. Unable to repair the chip, the team decided to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. But no single location is large enough to hold the section of code in its entirety.

So they devised a plan to divide the affected code into sections and store those sections in different places in the FDS. To make this plan work, they also needed to adjust those code sections to ensure, for example, that they all still function as a whole. Any references to the location of that code in other parts of the FDS memory needed to be updated as well.

The team started by singling out the code responsible for packaging the spacecraft’s engineering data. They sent it to its new location in the FDS memory on April 18. A radio signal takes about 22 ½ hours to reach Voyager 1, which is over 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, and another 22 ½ hours for a signal to come back to Earth. When the mission flight team heard back from the spacecraft on April 20, they saw that the modification worked: For the first time in five months, they have been able to check the health and status of the spacecraft.

Get the Latest News from the Final Frontier

During the coming weeks, the team will relocate and adjust the other affected portions of the FDS software. These include the portions that will start returning science data.

Voyager 2 continues to operate normally. Launched over 46 years ago , the twin Voyager spacecraft are the longest-running and most distant spacecraft in history. Before the start of their interstellar exploration, both probes flew by Saturn and Jupiter, and Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune.

After Months of Gibberish, Voyager 1 Is Communicating Well Again

NASA scientists spent months coaxing the 46-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft back into healthy communication

By Meghan Bartels

NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is depicted in this artist’s concept traveling through interstellar space, or the space between stars, which it entered in 2012.

NASA/JPL-Caltech

After months of nonsensical transmissions from humanity’s most distant emissary, NASA’s iconic Voyager 1 spacecraft is finally communicating intelligibly with Earth again.

Voyager 1 launched in 1977 , zipped past Jupiter and Saturn within just a few years and has been trekking farther from our sun ever since; the craft crossed into interstellar space in 2012. But in mid-November 2023 Voyager 1’s data transmissions became garbled , sending NASA engineers on a slow quest to troubleshoot the distant spacecraft. Finally, that work has paid off, and NASA has clear information on the probe’s health and status, the agency announced on April 22.

“It’s the most serious issue we’ve had since I’ve been the project manager, and it’s scary because you lose communication with the spacecraft,” said Suzanne Dodd, Voyager project manager at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in an interview with Scientific American when the team was still tracking down the issue.

The Voyager 1 spacecraft is a scientific legend : It discovered that Jupiter’s moon Io, far from being a dead world like our own companion, is instead a supervolcanic world . The craft’s data suggested that Saturn’s moon Titan might have liquid on its surface. And for more than a decade, Voyager 1 has given scientists a glimpse at what space looks like beyond the influence of our sun.

Yet its long years in the harsh environment of space have done a number on the probe, which was designed to last just four years. In particular, degraded performance and low power supplies have forced NASA to turn off six of its 10 instruments, and its communication has gotten even spottier than can be explained by the fact that cosmic mechanics mean a signal takes nearly one Earth day to travel between humans and the probe.

When the latest communications glitch occurred last fall, scientists could still send signals to the distant probe, and they could tell that the spacecraft was operating. But all they got from Voyager 1 was gibberish—what NASA described in December 2023 as “a repeating pattern of ones and zeros.” The team was able to trace the issue back to a part of the spacecraft’s computer system called the flight data subsystem, or FDS, and identified that a particular chip within that system had failed.

Mission personnel couldn’t repair the chip. They were, however, able to break the code held on the failed chip into pieces they could tuck into spare corners of the FDS’s memory, according to NASA. The first such fix was transmitted to Voyager 1 on April 18. With a total distance of 30 billion miles to cross from Earth to the spacecraft and back, the team had to wait nearly two full days for a response from the probe. But on April 20 NASA got confirmation that the initial fix worked. Additional commands to rewrite the rest of the FDS system’s lost code are scheduled for the coming weeks, according to the space agency, including commands that will restore the spacecraft’s ability to send home science data.

Although, for now, Voyager 1 appears to be on the mend, NASA scientists know it won’t last forever. Sooner or later, a glitch they can’t fix will occur, or the spacecraft’s ever dwindling fuel supply will run out for good. Until then NASA is determined to get as much data as possible out of the venerable spacecraft—and its twin, Voyager 2, which experienced its own communications glitch earlier in 2023 .

Draft Resolution Of The R.C.P.(B.) Group Of The Eighth Congress Of Soviets

[1] The Congress was held in Moscow from December 22 to 29, 1920. There was a record attendance of 2,537 delegates, of whom 1,728 had full voting rights, and 809 had deliberative votes.

The Congress met at a time when the Soviet Republic had won victory over the foreign interventionists and internal counter-revolution, and the economic front, as Lenin said, had become “the main, the principal front”.

The Congress was guided by Lenin, who delivered a report on the work of the All-Russia Central Executive Committee and the Council of People’s Commissars, and a speech closing the debate on his report at plenary sessions of the Congress on December 22 and 23. He also took the floor six times at sittings of the Communist group of the Congress on December 21, 22, 24 and 27 to deal with the question of concessions and the bill on measures to strengthen and develop peasant farming.

After the debate on Lenin’s report, the Congress passed a resolution by an overwhelming majority, approving the activities of the Soviet Government. The delegates gave a concerted rebuff to representatives of the petty-bourgeois parties who made a number of anti-Soviet declarations at the Congress and tabled a draft resolution of their own.

The Congress adopted the plan for the electrification of Russia which was drawn up on Lenin’s initiative and in keeping with his directions. This was the first long-term economic plan of the Soviet state, which Lenin called “the Party’s second programme”. The resolution adopted on Krzhizhanovsky ’s report was drafted by Lenin (see p. 532 in this volume).

One of the most important questions on the agenda was the bill on measures to strengthen and develop peasant farming, passed by the Council of People’s Commissars on December 1-4, 1920. Lenin participated in the discussion of the main clauses of the law at a private meeting of non-Party peasant delegates onDecember 22 and in the Communist group of the Congress on December 24 and 27. The Congress unanimously approved the bill.

The transition to peaceful construction called for the improvement and reorganisation of the entire Soviet apparatus. The Congress passed a detailed resolution on the question, setting up proper relations between central and local administrative bodies. The Congress dealt extensively with questions relating to the reorganisation of the entire system of economic management to meet the new tasks. The delegates discussed and approved a new statute of the Council of Labour and Defence.

The Congress instituted the Order of the Red Banner of Labour to be awarded for labour heroism, initiative and organisation in solving economic tasks.

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft finally phones home after 5 months of no contact

On Saturday, April 5, Voyager 1 finally "phoned home" and updated its NASA operating team about its health.

NASA's interstellar explorer Voyager 1 is finally communicating with ground control in an understandable way again. On Saturday (April 20), Voyager 1 updated ground control about its health status for the first time in 5 months. While the Voyager 1 spacecraft still isn't sending valid science data back to Earth, it is now returning usable information about the health and operating status of its onboard engineering systems. 

Thirty-five years after its launch in 1977, Voyager 1 became the first human-made object to leave the solar system and enter interstellar space . It was followed out of our cosmic quarters by its space-faring sibling, Voyager 2 , six years later in 2018. Voyager 2, thankfully, is still operational and communicating well with Earth. 

The two spacecraft remain the only human-made objects exploring space beyond the influence of the sun. However, on Nov. 14, 2023, after 11 years of exploring interstellar space and while sitting a staggering 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, Voyager 1's binary code — computer language composed of 0s and 1s that it uses to communicate with its flight team at NASA — stopped making sense.

In March, NASA's Voyager 1 operating team sent a digital "poke" to the spacecraft, prompting its flight data subsystem (FDS) to send a full memory readout back home.

This memory dump revealed to scientists and engineers that the "glitch" is the result of a corrupted code contained on a single chip representing around 3% of the FDS memory. The loss of this code rendered Voyager 1's science and engineering data unusable.

The NASA team can't physically repair or replace this chip, of course, but what they can do is remotely place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. Though no single section of the memory is large enough to hold this code entirely, the team can slice it into sections and store these chunks separately. To do this, they will also have to adjust the relevant storage sections to ensure the addition of this corrupted code won't cause those areas to stop operating individually, or working together as a whole. In addition to this, NASA staff will also have to ensure any references to the corrupted code's location are updated.

On April 18, 2024, the team began sending the code to its new location in the FDS memory. This was a painstaking process, as a radio signal takes 22.5 hours to traverse the distance between Earth and Voyager 1, and it then takes another 22.5 hours to get a signal back from the craft. 

By Saturday (April 20), however, the team confirmed their modification had worked. For the first time in five months, the scientists were able to communicate with Voyager 1 and check its health. Over the next few weeks, the team will work on adjusting the rest of the FDS software and aim to recover the regions of the system that are responsible for packaging and returning vital science data from beyond the limits of the solar system.

NASA’s Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Engineering Updates To Earth

After many tense months, it seems that thanks to a gaggle of brilliant engineering talent and a lucky break the Voyager 1 spacecraft is once more back in action. Confirmation came on April 20th , when Voyager 1 transmitted its first data since it fell silent on November 14 2023. As previously suspected , the issue was a defective memory chip in the flight data system (FDS), which among other things is responsible for preparing the data it receives from other systems before it is transmitted back to Earth. As at this point in time Voyager 1 is at an approximate 24 billion kilometers distance, this made for a few tense days for those involved.

The firmware patch that got sent over on April 18th contained an initial test to validate the theory, moving the code responsible for the engineering data packaging to a new spot in the FDS memory. If the theory was correct, this should mean that this time the correct data should be sent back from Voyager. Twice a 22.5 hour trip and change through Deep Space and back later on April 20th the team was ecstatic to see what they had hoped for.

With this initial test successful, the team can now move on to moving the remaining code away from the faulty memory after which regular science operations should resume, and giving the plucky spacecraft a new lease on life at the still tender age of 46.

Once again, FORTRAN proves its superiority to all other programming languages!

In a million years when the aliens find Voyager FORTRAN may be all that’s left of the human race, ugh.

Except it’s actually implemented in C like Bash, Rust, Python, CLISP, Tcl, modern ports of Delphi/Turbo Pascal etc.

The Voyager computers’ software is written directly in assembly

It’s a mix of assembly, Fortran, and some portions that were coded in C. Unfortunately the software itself is internal to JPL and unavailable to a FOIA request since Caltech holds the copyright.

It’s not *that* hard to find hardware details on Voyager, although the public stuff often is a little muddled. Aaron Cummings has a talk from a conference available on YouTube about the computers of Voyager which clarifies a lot of it.

An important note that gets missed is that while we might think of uploading patches to a spacecraft to be a dangerous affair that only happens every once in a while, that’s not actually the way older spacecraft worked: their limited memory meant that new software was frequently uploaded, as often as every day-ish during the prime mission. They didn’t call them patches, they called them procedure decks – like scripts.

Nope. “Both the AACS and FDS use assembly language. The CCS uses assembly language and Voyager-unique pseudo code (interpreter).” – from the excellent paper “Voyager Interstellar Mission: Challenges of Flying a Very Old Spacecraft on a Very Long Mission” by Sun Kang Matsumoto, a long time Voyager flight software engineer.

FORTRAN *was* used on the control and analysis software running on big iron back at JPL.

Yup, you’re right! I misread the original post and thought they were talking about all the Voyager software (including the ground stuff). Thanks for catching that.

I’m pretty sure the FDS/CCS/AACS are all custom JPL designs as well, just to make things worse for maintenance. There’s sadly precious little information on those guys out there.

Now that’s a high risk remote bug fix. One wrong move and you can’t just call somebody to go hit the reset button on the server.

It’s not high risk, actually. This is the FDS, not the CCS/AACS: it’s not responsible for commanding and interfacing. Instead it just handles science/engineering data packing. It’s been reprogrammed many times.

It’s also why it failed: the FDS used CMOS memory as opposed to core (ok plated wire but it’s core) which is what the CCS/AACS used.

Dang, you just can’t break that thing! Really amazing bit of work.

Voyager1 to Energizer Bunny : Hey kid, hold my beer.

*Obligatory Star Trek V’ger reference*

Meanwhile some unlucky alien in deep space has his home automation messed up when a firmware update from planet earth is accidentally flashed to his toaster, bricking it.

If it was a talking toaster, he may be very thankful for it.

Can I interest you in some toast?

It is now a microwave

A new lease until that next chip dies… this is just prolonging the inevitable: chips will die of old age and they are all about their expiration time… but I get it: while we can, we’ll squeeze every little bit of life of them :-)

The chips aren’t likely to be what kills the spacecraft, the lack of power is. They’ve got an internal goal of getting to 50 years (’27) – they start running into hard, unbeatable limits in the ’30s and beyond.

I wonder if this also means giving up on redundancy at some point. Normally, multiple systems run in parallel, needing multiple times the power. If power is very low, maybe using one of each systems only is a possibility?

Yeah, no, both Voyager crafts have had significant failures in redundant systems over the years: neither of them has fully redundant FDS resources, for instance (hell V1 no longer has a *single* fully functional FDS now). Plus once you get to the point of needing to shutdown one of the FDS/CCS/AACS you might as well just shut down the whole thing anyway.

Why so negative? You always tell what can’t be done, but don’t use your imagination to tell what can be done. 🙁

As far as I know, the ZX81 toy computer was being built from defective RAM chips, to lower price. This was being done by disablin the defective bank (ie, not using some address pins). So it wasn’t being unusual to install RAM chips that were partly being defect.

Not sure about the Voyagers, though. Someone should assume they had used parts for professional/industrial/military applications. On the other hand, though, space probe makers also had used bog standard aluminium foil from the super market for insulation.. ;)

The supermarket alu foil is getting thinner and thinner and thinner. It must have been pretty good stuff back then.

Here’s a link to the Voyager materials on the NASA Technical Reports Server:

meanwhile I kept reading FDS as Famicom Disk System

Thank god the project wasn’t agile ;)

Reading about Voyager’s long distance tech support, I wonder if an old man might be permitted to recount his modest story of LDTS, from 44 years ago.

In September 1980, British Leyland (I know, I know!) launched the Austin Metro to its dealers and fleet customers, aboard MS Vistafjord, a Norwegian America Lines ship. Vistafjord was fairly unique, in that its 400 staff could served 700 passengers their meals, at one sitting, and in one room.

The boat did five, 48-hour trips, between Liverpool and the Isle of Man, hosting some 3,500 guests.

To keep track of these, BL Marketing (“us”) used an Apple II+ “micro”, complete with twin floppies, a monitor and a printer ….. and a very hastily acquired voltage transformer – Vistafjord operating on 110V; the European II+ on 220/240V. AppleWorks was used as the database. For each trip, shortly after leaving Liverpool, we were able to provide the ship’s Hotel Captain with a complete, printed manifest of all BL guests and staff on board (names, homes addresses, NoK, and allocated cabin etc) – “A first”, I was told.

With two trips completed without incident, I skipped a weekend trip and began to relax. On the Sunday, I got a phone call, at home. “Hello, this is Holyhead Coast Guard, I’ve got a call for you, from Jayne, aboard the MS Vistafjord”, in the Irish Sea. “Help!”, says Jayne, “The computer isn’t working!”.

I ascertained that it was switched on, and AppleWorks would load, but that the database was corrupted. I booked a call back with Holyhead CG, for an hour later.

I was not an IT specialist; this was my hobby,, outside of my normal day job. I knew that AppleWorks, as a database, was basically a spreadsheet, and it needed pre-set character lengths for the data elements. I wondered if this was the root of the problem.

An hour later, I got “patched” back to Jayne and suggested she get to the database set-up page. And there it was! One of the “column” width settings had been corrupted and needed to be set back to “40”. Bingo! The data was readable, once more. Though extremely trivial today, for a few days the team thought I was some kind of magician.

I often wondered if, outside the military, this was an early example of shore to ship micro-computer technical support?

NASA back in communication with Voyager I, now 15 billion miles away | The Sky Guy

After five months NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft is once again returning usable data to Earth. Voyager 1 stopped sending usable data in November last year though NASA scientists knew it was receiving data from them.

The space craft is the most distant manmade object in space having entered interstellar space 22 years ago. Voyager 1, and its twin Voyager 2, were launched 46 years ago.

According to NASA: “In March, the Voyager engineering team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California confirmed that the issue was tied to one of the spacecraft’s three onboard computers, called the flight data subsystem (FDS). The FDS is responsible for packaging the science and engineering data before it’s sent to Earth.

“The team started by singling out the code responsible for packaging the spacecraft’s engineering data. They sent it to its new location in the FDS memory on April 18. A radio signal takes about 22 ½ hours to reach Voyager 1, which is over 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, and another 22 ½ hours for a signal to come back to Earth.

When the mission flight team heard back from the spacecraft on April 20, they saw that the modification worked: For the first time in five months, they have been able to check the health and status of the spacecraft.”

Contact restored with NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe

Contact restored.

That was the message relieved NASA officials shared after the agency regained full contact with the Voyager 1 space probe, the most distant human-made object in the universe, scientists have announced.

For the first time since November, the spacecraft is returning usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems, NASA said in a news release Monday.

The 46-year-old pioneering probe, now 15.1 billion miles from Earth, has continually defied expectations for its life span as it ventures farther into the  uncharted territory of the cosmos .

More: Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles from home and broken. Here's how NASA is trying to fix it.

Computer experts to the rescue

It wasn't as easy as hitting Control-Alt-Delete, but top experts at NASA and CalTech were able to fix the balky, ancient computer on board the probe that was causing the communication breakdown – at least for now.

A computer problem aboard Voyager 1 on Nov. 14, 2023, corrupted the stream of science and engineering data the craft sent to Earth,  making it unreadable .

Although the radio signal from the spacecraft had never ceased its connection to ground control operators on Earth, that signal had not carried any usable data since November, NASA said. After some serious sleuthing to fix the onboard computer, that changed on April 20, when NASA finally received usable data.

In interstellar space

The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between the stars).

Voyager 2 continues to operate normally, NASA reports. Launched  more than 46 years ago , the twin spacecraft are standouts on two fronts: they've operated the longest and traveled the farthest of any spacecraft ever.

Before the start of their interstellar exploration, both probes flew by Saturn and Jupiter, and Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune.

More: NASA gave Voyager 1 a 'poke' amid communication woes. Here's why the response was encouraging.

They were  designed to last five years but have become the longest-operating spacecraft in history. Both carry  gold-plated copper discs  containing sounds and images from Earth, content that was chosen by a team headed by celebrity astronomer  Carl Sagan .

For perspective, it was the summer of 1977 when the Voyager probes left Earth. "Star Wars" was No. 1 at the box office, Jimmy Carter was in the first year of his presidency, and Elvis Presley had just died.
