On Oct. 24, NASA reconnected with the Voyager 1 spacecraft after a brief pause in communications. The spacecraft recently turned off one of its two radio transmitters, and the team is now working to determine what caused the issue.
The transmitter shut-off seems to have been prompted by the spacecraft's fault protection system, which autonomously responds to onboard issues. For example, if

Three Chinese astronauts including the country's only woman spaceflight engineer blasted off on a "dream" mission to the Tiangong space station in the early hours of Wednesday.
The new Tiangong team will carry out experiments with an eye to the space programme's ambitious goal of placing astronauts on the Moon by 2030 and eventually constructing a lunar base.

NASA's Perseverance rover is navigating a challenging climb up Jezero Crater's western slope, aiming to reach the rim by early December. During the ascent, the rover captured a panoramic view of Jezero's interior along with images of its own tracks, left as its wheels encountered slippage on the slope.
