NASA Engineers Make Breakthrough in Restoring Communication with Voyager 1
After months of receiving garbled data, a new signal from Voyager 1 provides hope for fixing the communication issues.
- NASA engineers decoded a new signal from Voyager 1, offering clues to solve its communication problem.
- The signal, a complete memory readout of the spacecraft's flight data subsystem, was received after a 'poke' command.
- Comparison of the new data with previous records is underway to identify and fix the issue.
- Voyager 1, over 15 billion miles from Earth, has been sending unintelligible data since November 2023.
- The successful decoding of the signal marks a significant step towards restoring normal operations.
