TL;DR Summary

NASA's Voyager 1 probe, currently in interstellar space, is facing difficulties in transmitting scientific and systems data back to Earth due to a problem with its computers. The spacecraft's flight data system (FDS) is not communicating as expected with the telecommunications unit (TMU), resulting in a repeating pattern of ones and zeros being transmitted. The engineering team is working to find a solution, but it may take weeks. Voyager 2 also experienced a communication pause earlier this year due to an antenna orientation issue.
