"NASA Engineers Work to Resolve Voyager 1 Computer Glitch"
TL;DR
NASA's Voyager 1, currently over 15 billion miles away, is experiencing a computer glitch that has hindered the transmission of telemetry data back to Earth since November 14. This has left the mission's support team in Southern California without crucial information about the spacecraft's status, including its propulsion, power, and control systems. Engineers are working to diagnose and fix the problem, which is believed to stem from a bit of corrupted memory in the probe's Flight Data Subsystem. Despite the challenges, the team remains hopeful and is exploring alternative solutions to restore communication with the historic spacecraft.
