"Voyager 1's Data Transmission Woes Threaten Deep Space Mission"

NASA's Voyager-1 spacecraft, currently outside the Solar System, is experiencing a data transmission issue, preventing it from sending science data back to Earth. The problem lies with the flight data system (FDS) not communicating properly with the telemetry modulation unit (TMU). Despite efforts to resolve the issue, the spacecraft has been unable to return usable data since December. Launched in 1977, Voyager-1 provided valuable insights into the outer planets and entered interstellar space in 2012, making it the farthest human-made object in space.
