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.

NASA engineers have identified corrupted memory hardware in the Voyager 1 spacecraft's flight data system as the cause of the probe sending nonsensical data to mission control. The issue began in May 2022 and resurfaced in December 2023, prompting the team to send a command to pinpoint the corrupted section. Approximately 3% of the FDS memory has been corrupted, hindering normal operations, but the engineers are working on finding a solution to enable Voyager 1 to resume transmitting data and continue its deep space journey.

Voyager 1, the farthest human-made object, has been sending a repeating pattern of 1s and 0s to NASA from interstellar space, likely due to an issue with its Flight Data System. This has halted the transmission of science data and updates about the probe's health and status. NASA is working to resolve the problem, but it may take months, and the spacecraft's plutonium-powered system is running out. Eventually, Voyager 1 will cease sending data, but it will continue its journey through the space between stars.

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.

Laser communications are becoming increasingly important for space exploration, with recent advancements in the field. Two test missions, ILLUMA-T and Psyche, have successfully demonstrated data exchange using laser communication systems. The upcoming Artemis II mission plans to carry the Optical Communications System (O2O), which will enable live footage transmission from cis-lunar space. Laser communication systems offer higher data transmission rates and capacity compared to traditional radio wave communication, allowing for increased data volume and improved scientific measurements. However, integrating laser communication into existing systems like the International Space Station presents additional challenges.
