Voyager 1's Communication Breakdown in Interstellar Space

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft, currently the farthest spacecraft from Earth, has experienced a computer glitch that is disrupting communication with its mission team. Engineers are working to solve the issue as the aging spacecraft explores uncharted cosmic territory. Voyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2 are the only spacecraft to operate beyond the heliosphere, and their unexpectedly long lifespans have provided valuable insights about our solar system. The current glitch, reminiscent of the film "Groundhog Day," has caused the flight data system to be stuck on auto-repeat, preventing the transmission of science and engineering data. NASA engineers are investigating the cause and potential solutions, but the process could take weeks.
