After some problems in Nov 2023, "NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is fully operational once more, with all four science instruments returning usable data to Earth" (by Stefanie Waldek at Space.com).
Launched in 1977, this plucky little machine has gone far beyond NASA's expectations. I was so excited when she entered deep space in 2013 (see my post at https://mythologos.typepad.com/blog/2013/03/our-place-among-the-stars.html), and now, she is in the constellation of Ophiucus, 24,357,977,715 kilometers from Earth, and still sending information. I am in awe!!
