Voyager 1 sending nothing but garbage<\/h2>\n

Voyager 1 has experienced a computer glitch on one of the spacecraft\u2019s three onboard computers. Called the flight data system (FDS), it can no longer communicate properly with another subsystem called the telemetry modulation unit (TMU). This results in the inability for Voyager 1 to send any science or engineering data back to Earth.<\/p>\n

However, Voyager 1 can and still is, receiving and executing commands from Earth. A very good sign as without that ability, Voyager 1 would have a much higher chance of being loss.<\/p>\n

In a normal scenario, data from the FDS would be gathered from the various sensors and instruments on the spacecraft, packaged up into a bundle of ones and zeros, and then sent back to Earth via the TMU. In the current scenario, the ones and zeros are stuck in a repeating pattern, unusable to engineers and scientists on the ground.<\/p>\n
