"NASA Identifies Voyager 1 Glitch Source in Interstellar Space"

NASA is confident it can recover the Voyager 1 probe, which has been malfunctioning in deep space due to a critical memory error since November 2023. Engineers are optimistic they can find a way for the Flight Data Subsystem to operate normally without the unusable memory hardware, enabling Voyager 1 to begin returning science and engineering data. The issue has been diagnosed as a single chip comprising roughly 3% of the FDS' volatile memory, and the fix involves finding a way to operate the FDS without relying on the corrupted memory. Despite the uncertainty, NASA expects Voyager 1 to resume sending signals in the coming months, allowing its galactic odyssey to continue after 45 years.
