NASA Tech Support Restores Voyager 1’s Data Transmission Capability

NASA engineers have successfully completed a complex troubleshooting procedure on the Voyager 1 space probe to fix a faulty computer. The probe, which is over 46 years old and located 15 billion miles away, had been sending corrupted science data due to a memory issue. The team remotely moved the affected code to a different part of the computer to prevent further corruption. With this issue resolved, NASA expects Voyager 1 to resume transmitting valuable scientific data soon. Meanwhile, its sister probe, Voyager 2, continues to operate without any problems.
