"NASA Decodes Voyager 1's Surprising Message After Communication Breakdown"

After four months of receiving unintelligible signals from Voyager 1, NASA has finally decoded a comprehensible message from the spacecraft following a command prompt sent from Earth. The signal, received in response to a software command sent on March 1, is hoped to provide insights into the spacecraft's communication problems. Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has ventured beyond the boundaries of the solar system and is currently over 15 billion miles away from Earth. NASA engineers will now compare the decoded signal with previous data to identify discrepancies and potentially resolve the ongoing communication issues, although it will take time to determine the effectiveness of these insights.
