Engineers are hopeful that Voyager 1 is making progress after sending a “poke” command to its Flight Data System, potentially bypassing corruption. The spacecraft, which has outlasted expectations, recently sent a complete memory dump, containing code and data variables. Dr. Suzanne Dodd noted that the data was not as expected, but showed the FDS was partially functioning. However, communication delays of 45 hours pose a challenge, as engineers work to resolve the issue with skills and patience. The team, faced with unanticipated problems, is working to decode the binary babble and restore communication with the veteran spacecraft.
