What is a light-day? The milestone Voyager 1 is closing in on

The milestone Voyager 1 is closing in on — one light-day away from Earth — is about distance, not time. And it's very, very far.

Voyager 1 Briefly Goes Silent, Scaring Everyone

Voyager 1 went silent for more than 24 hours on October 18 and 19, and the team is still trying to figure out what happened. Diagnostic data collected after communications were restored showed a group of thrusters went offline, with backup units kicking in. This indicates the onboard computer detected some kind of anomaly, and whether it is a recurrence of previously observed clogged fuel lines will have to be investigated. It is currently unknown whether the blackout is related to a recent switch of multiple instruments to lower-power versions, which should give both spacecraft a few more years before power reserves fall below usable levels.

Artemis II Rocket Was Powerful Enough To Disrupt GPS

A pre-print study found that Artemis II's rocket stages had a surprisingly wide impact on the upper atmosphere. The first stage occurred too low to significantly affect the ionosphere. But the 2nd and 3rd stage burns were large enough that they could have sustainably disrupted GPS signals at the time. Waves also traveled through the atmosphere across the entirety of North America in the form of gravity waves. The research relied on thousands of sensors across the globe.
