NASA engineers have identified the reason behind the garbled signals being emitted by the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which was launched on 5 September 1977 to explore the outer Solar System. Currently located 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) away from Earth, Voyager 1 continues to send radio signals back to Earth as it ventures further into space.
Since November, the spacecraft has been transmitting incomprehensible data, prompting engineers to investigate the issue. In a recent development, engineers sent a command to the probe's flight data subsystem (FDS) to gather information. The response indicated that a memory corruption within the FDS is likely causing the problem.
