Race Against Time: NASA's Battle to Save Voyager 1

NASA's Voyager 1, located over 15 billion miles away, is facing a critical situation due to a computer glitch hindering its ability to transmit essential telemetry data back to Earth. The malfunction, suspected to be in the Flight Data System, has left the mission's support team in the dark about key parameters related to the craft's systems. The unprecedented technical and logistical challenge, compounded by the spacecraft's age and technology, has underscored the pressing need for a solution to ensure the continuation of its journey through the cosmos. Despite ongoing efforts, the absence of comprehensive telemetry data has posed a significant obstacle in restoring full functionality to the probe, with NASA remaining hopeful for a resolution.

"Groundbreaking ISS Mimic Transforms Space Station Experience"

The ISS Mimic project aims to make the International Space Station (ISS) more relatable by creating a 3D printable 1:100 model of the Station that is linked to real-time telemetry data. The model includes rotating solar arrays and radiators, as well as LEDs that indicate the status of various onboard systems. The project also visualizes the raw telemetry data into visually exciting status pages, making it more accessible and appealing to younger audiences. The team hopes to have schools and institutions build their own ISS Mimics, and is working on a smaller, easier-to-print version. Future plans include adding motorized components and encouraging the Hackaday community to build their own ISS Mimic.
