"Voyager 1's Communication Breakthrough: NASA Engineers Decode Signals"

TL;DR Summary
After months of transmitting gibberish, Voyager 1's Flight Data System (FDS) has shown signs of improvement following a command sent by the mission team. Engineers were able to decode a complete memory dump from the FDS, containing its code, variables, and data. The next step is to compare this with previous data to devise a solution. However, the long communication delay and the challenge of dealing with decades-old technology pose significant obstacles for the team.
