"NASA Engineers Successfully Communicate with Voyager 1 After Memory Dump"
Originally Published 1 year ago — by Hackaday
NASA engineers sent a "poke" command to Voyager 1 and received a memory read-out from the Flight Data Subsystem, providing hope that the spacecraft may be in better condition than feared. The data, although not in the correct format, is readable and will be analyzed for clues to the spacecraft's issues. The problem was initially thought to be with the telemetry modulation unit but has now been traced to the FDS itself. This development offers a new hope for understanding and potentially resolving the FDS problems, providing a positive turn in the Voyager mission.
