“A clock is ticking on one of America’s most famous apps.”
NASA's Voyager 1 probe -- the most distant man-made object in the universe -- is returning usable information to ground control following months of spouting gibberish, the US space agency
Voyager 1 and 2 launched in 1977 and are NASA’s oldest and most distant robotic space travelers. An issue with Voyager 1’s code that began in November meant the spacecraft was unable to send back data from interstellar space. After some creative engineering to find a solution, Voyager teams got the first usable data from the spacecraft on April 20.
JPL engineers pinpointed the cause behind the anomaly and came up with a clever plan to rescue the iconic mission.
Corrupted memory hardware is causing the mission to transmit gibberish, but there may be a way to fix it
