"NASA Engineers Work to Restore Contact with Voyager 1, 15 Billion Miles Away"
TL;DR Summary
NASA engineers have identified corrupted memory as the cause of Voyager 1's data transmission issues and are working on a remote fix for the hardware problem from 15 billion miles away. The corrupted memory, likely caused by either wear and tear or energetic particles, is hindering the spacecraft's Flight Data System (FDS) from operating normally. Despite being out of physical reach, engineers are optimistic about finding a software solution to enable Voyager 1 to resume sending science and engineering data back to Earth.
