Voyager 1 Team Reacts to Receiving Engineering Data From Spacecraft

B-roll for media and public use. In a conference room at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California on April 20, 2024, members of the Voyager mission team received engineering data from the spacecraft for the first time since November 2023. Nearly two full days earlier, the team had sent a series of commands to move a section of software code used by the flight data subsystem (FDS) computer to a new location. The physical location where the code was previously stored has been damaged, causing mission controllers to go five months without receiving science or engineering data. But the commands were a success, and the team received data about the health and status of the spacecraft, prompting celebration. The commands were sent on April 18, 2024. Due to Voyager 1’s distance from Earth – over 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) – a radio signal takes about 22 ½ hours to travel to the spacecraft, and 22 ½ hours to return to Earth. 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. Shown are Voyager team members Kareem Badaruddin, Joey Jefferson, Jeff Mellstrom, Nshan Kazaryan, Todd Barber, Dave Cummings, Jennifer Herman, Suzanne Dodd, Armen Arslanian, Lu Yang, Linda Spilker, Bruce Waggoner, Sun Matsumoto, and Jim Donaldson.

What is said in the film

Anyway and see if there's any change reaction. I'm just. Oh, yeah. Oh, wow. That's insane.

That we don't see. Oh, yeah. All right. Oh. All right.

We got to be there in 40, right? Yeah. Unbelievable. Oh my God. That's the guy who wrote.

Yeah. All right. I think we have the.
