Fix Traveling 1 to 24 billion km a surmountable challenge for NASA engineers...

Currently approximately 24 billion kilometers from Earth, Voyager 1 began transmitting unreadable data to ground controllers on November 14. For months, NASA was faced with the enigma of this constant, but incomprehensible, signal. However, thanks to the efforts of engineers, the cause of the problem was finally identified: a small portion of corrupted memory in Voyager 1's Flight Data System (FDS). Engineers are now optimistic that they will be able to find a solution. means for the FDS to function normally. However, this will not happen overnight. https://sciencepost.fr/nasa-identifie-p ... voyager-1/
