JPL engineers pinpointed the cause behind the anomaly and came up with a clever plan to rescue the iconic mission.
The Voyager 1 spacecraft returned usable data for the first time in more than five months, giving hope for the 46-year-old mission to finally be able to resume its normal operations. NASA ’s favorite interstellar probe transmitted data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems to mission control on Saturday, the space agency announced. That’s great news for the mission, and the next step is hopefully for Voyager 1 to begin returning science data again.
Since the glitch, however, the mission has been sending data in a repeating pattern of ones and zeroes. Voyager 1 is 15.14 billion miles away, which makes repairing it that much more complicated. The engineers at JPL knew that they couldn’t fix the chip, but they could try to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory.
