Sounding a little more like yourself, #Voyager1 . For the first time since November, Voyager 1 is returning useable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems. Next step: Enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again:

Engineers have confirmed that corrupted memory aboard my twin #Voyager1 has been causing it to send unreadable data to Earth. It may take months, but our team is optimistic they can find a way for the FDS to operate normally again:

An update on my twin #Voyager1 : The team recently sent a "poke" to prompt V1's flight data system (FDS) and received a signal that differed from past attempts. A DSN engineer helped decode this signal, which may contain clues to the source of the issue:

How are we just now learning that Ed Stone, our longtime project scientist, has an asteroid named after him? Asteroid 5841 or "Stone," to be exact. Now, how do we get one? 😉 -V2

In 1979, my twin Voyager 1 discovered active volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io. Check out this awesome view of two simultaneously occurring eruptions. Ash clouds are rising more than 260 km above the surface in the eruption on the lower right. The other is at the shadow line. -V2

Many moons ago, we revealed our Golden Record to the world – and it's still traveling with us beyond the heliosphere. Congrats, @EuropaClipper and team, on this beautiful message. -V2

Humanity's message from one water world to another – carried to Europa on a piece of tantalum metal. Launching this October, @NASA 's @EuropaClipper spacecraft will soon carry an inspirational message into the cosmos on its vault plate: See the design ⬇️

The year was 1979, and my twin was about to make its closest approach to Jupiter. V1 took almost 19,000 pictures – and I arrived a few months later for my own close encounter. Can't wait to see the new images @EuropaClipper takes when it gets to the Jupiter system in 2030. - V2

Space is hard. Interstellar space is harder. Solving issues like this takes time – because it takes more than 22 hours for a message to travel from Earth to my twin Voyager 1 and another 22 hours for a response to make it back. -V2

A Voyager update: Engineers are still working to resolve a data issue on Voyager 1. We can talk to the spacecraft, and it can hear us, but it's a slow process given the spacecraft's incredible distance from Earth. We’ll keep you informed on its status. 🤞

I'm currently more than 20.4 billion kilometers (12.6 billion miles) away from Earth. But on this day in 1986, I was doing my closest flyby of Uranus. I came within 81,500 kilometers (50,600 miles) of its cloud tops! -V2

Problem-solving beyond the heliopause. The @NASAVoyager team is investigating an issue with #Voyager1 's Flight Data System. The spacecraft is receiving and executing commands sent from Earth but not returning useable data. More on the evolving situation:

Trust me. It's pretty cool to travel through space. And you can too, if you act now. My friends on the @EuropaClipper mission tell me that time is running out to get your name onboard the spacecraft before it journeys to Jupiter's icy moon: -V2

#OTD in 1980, I made my closest approach to Saturn. The day before, I observed its largest moon, Titan. I was the first to see that Titan contains an Earth-like atmosphere! - V1
