"NASA Engineers Work to Restore Contact with Voyager 1, 15 Billion Miles Away"

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.

"NASA Pinpoints Voyager 1's Data Transmission Glitch"

NASA engineers have identified a small portion of corrupted memory as the cause of Voyager 1's transmission issues, preventing the Flight Data System (FDS) from operating normally. The spacecraft, located 15 billion miles from Earth, has been beaming unreadable data for nearly five months. Despite the challenges posed by its distance and communication delays, engineers are optimistic about finding a way for the FDS to operate without the unusable memory hardware, allowing Voyager 1 to resume transmitting science and engineering data.
