2025 On March 20, 2025, the Voyager 1 team watched the probe execute stored commands that revived long-idled backup attitude-control thrusters and confirmed success when heater temperatures rose within about 20 minutes. The maneuver preserved pointing capability and reduced risk ahead of a planned communications pause.
