NASA is actively working to resolve a communication breakdown with its Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has been experiencing issues with its flight data system (FDS). The problem began months ago, leading to a period where the spacecraft was sending back unintelligible data. Recently, the Voyager team made a breakthrough by sending a 'poke' to Voyager 1's FDS, resulting in a signal that differed from past attempts. This new signal, decoded with the help of a DSN engineer, may contain clues to the source of the issue. The spacecraft, launched in 1977, is currently over 15 billion miles from Earth, complicating the troubleshooting process. Despite the challenges, NASA remains hopeful, with engineers making progress towards understanding and potentially fixing the data scrambling issue. This development keeps hope alive for the continuation of Voyager 1's historic mission.
