Voyager 1, a man-made object Even if it has problems so far from Earth It pushes the boundaries of how it can be saved.

In the past months, Unexpectedly strange data streams from Voyager 1 began to arrive and attracted the attention of NASA.

The spacecraft returned incomprehensible information instead of the expected scientific data.

NASAs Engineers from the Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), When the spacecraft’s data flow suddenly stopped, he worked intensively to determine the cause of the problem.

According to preliminary findings, a device on Voyager 1’s Flight Data Subsystem (FDS). The memory problem had disrupted the normal flow of information.

So how was the problem solved?

Engineers to identify the problem They had to recode FDS’s memory. As a result of their analysis, they determined that a component of the FDS was damaged and the information contained in this component was no longer accessible.

On this By sending a new command set to Voyager 1 Healthy memory areas outside the damaged area were accessed.

After the command was sent, NASA engineers waited two days for a response from Voyager 1.

Finally, the signal carrying data indicating Voyager 1’s health status reached Earth. Good that the spacecraft is still functioning and showed that the repaired memory sections worked correctly.

This allowed Voyager 1 to continue its mission in space. Engineers are now testing the spacecraft’s science data collection capabilities. continues its work to make a full recovery

So it helps to get more information about the interstellar medium the survival of humanity in space will allow.
