After a nail-biting four months, NASA has finally received a comprehensible signal from its Voyager 1 spacecraft.

Now, in response to a command prompt, or"poke," sent from Earth on March 1, NASA has received a new signal from Voyager 1 that engineers have been able to decode. Mission scientists hope this information may help them explain the spacecraft's recent communication problems. Voyager 1 is more than 15 billion miles from Earth. This means any radio signals sent from our planet take 22.5 hours to reach the spacecraft, with any response taking the same time to be picked up by antennas on Earth.
