In a surprising turn of events, the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which was feared to be at the end of its mission due to garbled data, has sent back a readable Flight Data Subsystem (FDS) memory read-out after a “poke” command was issued. Engineers are now able to analyze the returned memory for clues on the spacecraft’s condition. The issue was previously thought to be with the telemetry modulation unit (TMU), but it has now been confirmed that the problem lies with the FDS itself. Engineers are currently updating the firmware on the spacecraft in an attempt to extend its lifespan,…
