TL;DR Summary

NASA engineers have identified a small portion of corrupted memory in the flight data subsystem (FDS) as the cause of Voyager 1's unreadable data transmission, likely due to a malfunctioning chip. The issue, possibly caused by an energetic particle or the age of the silicon, has hindered the spacecraft's normal operations. It may take weeks or months to find a solution, but NASA remains optimistic about restoring Voyager 1's ability to send usable science and engineering data.
