POT announced a fix for a major probe bug Voyager 1which made it possible to send “strange data” to Earth.
According to the space agency’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL), engineers have already fixed the problem, but they are still looking for the cause of this malfunction.
Voyager 1 continues its mission
Earlier this year, mission leaders were surprised by strange data sent by a probe, one of the most distant currently in space.
In this case, it was the Articulation and Attitude Control System (AACS) that started sending this confusing information. What’s really intriguing is that, despite this, the engineers on Earth knew the ship was working without problems.
While investigating the case, the team concluded that the problem was with the onboard computer, as it stopped working years ago and damaged the telemetry data delivery system.
With that in mind, AACS was ordered to send data from the correct computer.
The main reason has not yet been found.
JPL does not yet know why there was a change in the routing of telemetry data from the affected computer, but it is believed that this was due to an erroneous command generated by another computer.
This fact opens up a new threat: it indicates that there are still problems somewhere in the probe. The team argues that in such a case, it is impossible to permanently damage the spacecraft.
Voyager 1 this is more than 23 billion kilometers from the planet: the signal from the Earth currently reaches it in 20 hours and 33 minutes; receiving a response from the spacecraft incurs the same delay.
It is expected that after 44 years of mission POT start turning off Voyager 1 and its sister ship Voyager 2 since the end of the year. It is believed that the energy of the plutonium that feeds them will run out no later than 2025 or 2030.
