Voyager 1: NASA may have just managed to save its historic spacecraft
Voyager 1 and 2 launched in 1977 and are NASA’s oldest and most distant robotic space travelers. An issue with Voyager 1’s code that began in November meant the spacecraft was unable to send back data from interstellar space. After some creative engineering to find a solution, Voyager teams got the first usable data from the spacecraft on April 20.

NASA seeks ideas for Mars sample return mission
NASA is rethinking how to bring samples from Mars back to Earth after a review found that current budget constraints would delay the Mars sample return mission to 2040 and cost more than $11 billion.

NASA seeks new ideas for Mars sample return mission due to budget constraints
The current Mars sample return plan would cause NASA to take funds from other planned missions. The space agency is seeking an alternate plan for getting Mars samples back in the 2030s and for less than $7 billion.
