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
