    Three weeks after Voyager 1 autonomously flipped over to using the S-band transmitter for communicating with earth because of a power overload condition, it appears that it is back to communicating using X-band.

    No word from NASA, but presumably the team managed to turn off the heater that caused the power surge and re-enable the X-band transmitter.

    Phew 😓
