The next step is to enable the spacecraft to begin returning science data again. The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between stars).<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"1ikbh\">Voyager 1 stopped sending readable science and engineering data back to Earth on Nov. 14, 2023, even though mission controllers could tell the spacecraft was still receiving their commands and otherwise operating normally. In March, the Voyager engineering team at NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California confirmed that the issue was tied to one of the spacecraft\u2019s three onboard computers, called the flight data subsystem (FDS). The FDS is responsible for packaging the science and engineering data before it\u2019s sent to Earth.<\/p>\n<div class=\"LayoutHelper BaseGrid container mx-auto lg:mb-8 mb-5\">\n<div class=\"lg:col-start-3 lg:col-end-11 col-start-1 col-end-13 lg:px-0 px-4 relative\">\n<div class=\"BlockText text-body-lg\">\n<p data-block-key=\"7fdc9\">The\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.nasa.gov\/voyager\/2024\/04\/04\/engineers-pinpoint-cause-of-voyager-1-issue-are-working-on-solution\/\">team discovered<\/a>\u00a0that a single chip responsible for storing a portion of the FDS memory \u2014 including some of the FDS computer\u2019s software code \u2014 isn\u2019t working. The loss of that code rendered the science and engineering data unusable. Unable to repair the chip, the team decided to place the affected code elsewhere in the FDS memory. But no single location is large enough to hold the section of code in its entirety.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LayoutHelper BaseGrid container mx-auto lg:mb-18 mb-10\">\n<div class=\"lg:col-start-3 lg:col-end-11 col-start-1 col-end-13 lg:px-0 px-4 relative\">\n<div class=\"BlockText text-body-lg\">\n<p data-block-key=\"kggi9\">So they devised a plan to divide the affected code into sections and store those sections in different places in the FDS. To make this plan work, they also needed to adjust those code sections to ensure, for example, that they all still function as a whole. Any references to the location of that code in other parts of the FDS memory needed to be updated as well.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"do85k\">The team started by singling out the code responsible for packaging the spacecraft\u2019s engineering data. They sent it to its new location in the FDS memory on April 18. A radio signal takes about 22 \u00bd hours to reach Voyager 1, which is over 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) from Earth, and another 22 \u00bd hours for a signal to come back to Earth. When the mission flight team heard back from the spacecraft on April 20, they saw that the modification worked: For the first time in five months, they have been able to check the health and status of the spacecraft.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"LayoutHelper BaseGrid container mx-auto lg:mb-18 mb-10\">\n<div class=\"md:col-start-3 md:col-end-11 lg:col-start-4 lg:col-end-10 col-start-1 col-end-13 lg:px-0 px-4 relative\">\n<div class=\"bg-gray-light md:mx-0 sm:py-8 md:py-10 md:px-0 sm:mx-20 px-6 py-6 text-center\">\n<div class=\"md:mx-16 xl:mx-24\">\n<p data-block-key=\"kggi9\">During the coming weeks, the team will relocate and adjust the other affected portions of the FDS software. These include the portions that will start returning science data.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"6b90o\">Voyager 2 continues to operate normally. Launched\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/voyager.jpl.nasa.gov\/mission\/\">over 46 years ago<\/a>, the twin Voyager spacecraft are the longest-running and most distant spacecraft in history. Before the start of their interstellar exploration, both probes flew by Saturn and Jupiter, and Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune.<\/p>\n<p data-block-key=\"a8bku\">Caltech in Pasadena, California, manages JPL for NASA.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<hr \/>\n<h1 style=\"text-align: center;\"><span style=\"color: #008080;\"><strong>Do you enjoy the SWLing Post?<\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><strong><em>Please consider supporting us via\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u=7466002&amp;redirect_uri=https%3A%2F%2Fswling.com%2Fblog%2F&amp;utm_medium=widget\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.patreon.com\/bePatron?u%3D7466002%26redirect_uri%3Dhttps%253A%252F%252Fswling.com%252Fblog%252F%26utm_medium%3Dwidget&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1534765144986000&amp;usg=AFQjCNEe7C7aRTKqwuFkU5YIo8XEqPqthw\"><span class=\"il\">Patreon<\/span><\/a>\u00a0or our\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&amp;hosted_button_id=TGGFP2XVZDPP2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" data-saferedirecturl=\"https:\/\/www.google.com\/url?q=https:\/\/www.paypal.com\/cgi-bin\/webscr?cmd%3D_s-xclick%26hosted_button_id%3DTGGFP2XVZDPP2&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1534765144986000&amp;usg=AFQjCNH45maBgVLGpqLmQQvviVKBNMEGUw\"><span class=\"il\">Coffee<\/span>\u00a0<span class=\"il\">Fund<\/span><\/a>! <\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Your support makes articles like this one possible.
