          NASA has revived roll thrusters on Voyager 1 that were thought to be dead for two decades. The spacecraft's 47-year-old thrusters, which were last used in the early 2000s, were successfully reactivated by scientists at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. This achievement marks a significant milestone in maintaining the health and functionality of the aging spacecraft, allowing it to continue its journey into interstellar space. Voyager 1 is now one step closer to reaching the edge of our solar system.
