Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Science Data from Two Instruments

The spacecraft is returning science data from two of its four instruments for the first time since a computer issue arose with the spacecraft in November 2023.

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, will celebrate 47 years of operations later this year.

Frankly the #Voyager saga has made me realize the complete bullshit that is the 1 year warranty on most enterprise hard drives.

Greetings, Earth! NASA can understand Voyager 1 again.

@popsci reports: "The 46-year-old space probe is making sense for the first time in five months after remote repairs."

Voyager 1 did not

• use an LLM
• have a .NET runtime
• use pip package management
• require a vast network of node rpm dependencies
• have subscription pricing for its log management platform
• have a platform
• embed adclick dot com trackers
• check for authentic HP ink
• need a noctua LED cooler
• ...

Launched over 46 years ago, a recent chip failure kept Voyager 1 from sending readable data back from interstellar space.

But they figured out how to fix it! By moving code in its tiny 70kB memory, they can work around that broken chip. So the mission continues! 🛰️

Okay, I think what the Voyager 1 team pulled off is one of the greatest feats of debugging in the history of computing 👌

46 years old hardware, 22.5 hours of light delay, and zero tolerance for mistakes. I'm getting nervous tics just thinking about it 😵‍💫

One hell of an engineering team.

As someone who was barely 4 years old when #VOY went off the air, I would like at least one (1) #StarTrek series to make it to 7 seasons at least once in my waking memory...

"NASA is reaching across more than 15 billion miles to rescue its malfunctioning Voyager 1 probe — but this hallowed interstellar mission can’t live forever."

Scientific American reports: "After months of stress and unsuccessful answers they have managed to decode at least a portion of the spacecraft’s gobbledygook, allowing them to (maybe) find a way to see what it has been trying to say."

The venerable Voyager 1 spacecraft is experiencing another glitch. Instead of sending science and engg. data, it is sending a 0101 bit pattern.

The problem has been narrowed down to the flight data system (FDS), which is not communicating properly with the telecom unit (TMU). A reboot did not help.

Stay tuned as NASA engrs work out a fix for this 1970's era computer, which has performed magnificently during its long 46-year journey to the planets and to outer space.
