engineers NASA announced on Tuesday, August 30th that they had managed to fix the issue that caused space probe Voyager I send incorrect data about your position. The data is related to your orientation and sent Position and articulation control system (AACS). According to the missionary group, the problem was caused by a malfunction of the computer that transmitted information from Voyager I to the ground. To learn more.

Voyager I probe repaired

As mission engineers explained Voyager Idata received AACS were transmitted by a computer probe defective – the mission was launched in 1977 and several components have been disabled to conserve fuel or are simply no longer operational. The confusion with this data occurred in the following: Voyager I “informed” that its orientation is such that it will not be able to receive and transmit information to Earth, since the antenna will not be directed towards our planet.

Although it didn’t seem like such a big problem, as she continued to receive and send information, it was necessary to understand the cause of the “disorientation” in order to assess the condition. Voyager I. After the problem was discovered, the solution was “relatively simple” – if we think of it as space probe located more than 23 billion kilometers from Earth. Engineers NASA I had to change the computer on which the data was stored from AACS were sent. And more research ahead probe.

Understanding the Voyager I case

OUR NASA announced in May that Voyager I I had some problems. According to the space agency, space probe sends “weird” data about your location. Obviously, theories about aliens are starting to emerge – and in the end it was just an earthly mistake.

team NASA responsible for the mission Voyager I reported that the probe was sending incorrect data about its movement and orientation. This data is sent Position and articulation control system (AACS in English). This equipment is responsible for antenna positioning traveler 1 to Earth using information from interstellar space where it is located. According to NASAthe data received does not correspond to what is actually happening on board.

Susannah Dodd, one of the members of the missionary group Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, commented that “a mystery like this” 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.

OUR Voyager I located at a distance of more than 23 billion kilometers from the Earth. In interstellar space, where it is located, there is a huge amount of radiation, the effect of which on spaceships unknown and space probe has 45-year-old technology. The mission is expected to end in 2025, when all the fuel in Voyager I end.
