OUR NASA recently announced that space probe Voyager 1, the first man-made object to leave the solar system and also the furthest from Earth, is in trouble. According to the space agency, space probe sends “weird” data about your location. Obviously, alien theories are starting to surface, but this has to be a real earthly problem… a cosmic one, to be exact.

Has anyone seen me here? I didn’t see anyone either.

team NASA responsible for the mission traveler 1 reported that the probe was sending incorrect data about its movement and orientation. This data is sent by the Altitude and Articulation Control System (AACS). This equipment is responsible for antenna positioning traveler 1 to Earth using information from interstellar space where it is located. In accordance with NASAthe data received does not correspond to what is actually happening on board.

But there’s good news in all of this: even if she’s “lost” in what she’s doing, the fact that she’s receiving and sending back to Earth is evidence that her antenna is positioned correctly. As in the case when a drunkard is looking for the key that you have in your hand.

Susannah Dodd, one of the members of the missionary group Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, comments that “such a puzzle” fits the stage the mission is at. “Both spacecraft are almost 45 years old, which is much longer than the mission planners had anticipated,” Dodd said. Despite the age Voyager 2 works fine, but it’s also not as far as traveler 1.

Voyager 1 entered interstellar space in 2012.

Voyager 1 is over 15 billion kilometers from Earth. In interstellar space, where it is located, there is a huge amount of radiation, the effect of which on spaceships unknown and Voyager I there is still technology from 45 years ago. Until a problem is resolved or understood, there is no way to know if it will affect the future of the mission. In any case, it is expected to end in 2025.
