Voyager 1 glitch? NASA working to understand strange data from venerable probe​

Spending 45 years traversing the solar system really does a number on a spacecraft.

NASA's Voyager 1 mission launched in 1977, passed into what scientists call interstellar space in 2012 and just kept going — the spacecraft is now 14.5 billion miles (23.3 billion kilometers) away from Earth. And while Voyager 1 is still operating properly, scientists on the mission recently noticed that it appeared confused about its location in space without going into safe mode or otherwise sounding an alarm.

"A mystery like this is sort of par for the course at this stage of the Voyager mission," Suzanne Dodd, project manager for Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California, said in a statement.

"The spacecraft are both almost 45 years old, which is far beyond what the mission planners anticipated," Dodd added. "We're also in interstellar space — a high-radiation environment that no spacecraft have flown in before."

The glitch has to do with Voyager 1's attitude articulation and control system, or AACS, which keeps the spacecraft and its antenna in the proper orientation. And the AACS seems to be working just fine, since the spacecraft is receiving commands, acting on them and sending science data back to Earth with the same signal strength as usual. Nevertheless, the AACS is sending the spacecraft's handlers junk telemetry data.

The NASA statement does not specify when the issue began or how long it has lasted.

The agency says that Voyager personnel will continue to investigate the issue and attempt to either fix or adapt to it. That's a slow process, since a signal from Earth currently takes 20 hours and 33 minutes to reach Voyager 1; receiving the spacecraft's response carries the same delay.

The twin Voyager 2 probe, also launched in 1977, is behaving normally, NASA said. The power the twin spacecraft can produce is always falling, and mission team members have turned some components off to save juice — measures they hope will keep the probes working through at least 2025.

"There are some big challenges for the engineering team," Dodd said. "But I think if there's a way to solve this issue with the AACS, our team will find it."

Voyager 1 glitch? Strange signals from venerable probe has NASA baffled

It's never too late for a Voyager 1 mystery in deep space.

NASA also told reporters, on deep background, that Starship Commander James T. Kirk had been assigned the mission to catch up to Voyager 1 and do an assessment of its physical status.

The USS Enterprise was the only Starship within interception range.

Probably a victim of regular space mine clearing operations by an imperial star destroyer fleet.

 

[Goritoes]

Thanos snap cause this.

 

[Olympus81]

Could be because the neutrals became neutrals and the voyager decided the same.

Scenes in my head:

Mr Sulu set interception course for Voyager probe maximum warp, Scotty when reach there prepare to beam it aboard and Mr Spock I want technical analysis on what cause the malfunction.

Here is a study on the effect of cosmic rays on semiconductor based microelectronics. This study was done way back in 1981.

Hope they have a Dalten on board. Otherwise, V'ger will not be happy.

the spacecraft is now 14.5 billion miles (23.3 billion kilometers) away from Earth [...] a signal from Earth currently takes 20 hours and 33 minutes to reach Voyager 1; receiving the spacecraft's response carries the same delay.

NASA is amazing!

Interstellar 8-Track: How Voyager's Vintage Tech Keeps Running

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has gone interstellar. Launched in 1977, the probe is vintage space hardware. At more than 36 years old, or roughly a millennium in computer years, it's an impressive feat to have the spacecraft drifting through the material between stars. Looking at the machine’s...

Voyager 1 has a 22.4-Watt transmitter – something equivalent to a refrigerator light bulb – but by the time its beacon reaches us, the power has been reduced to roughly 0.1 billion-billionth of a Watt. NASA has to use its largest antenna, a 70-meter dish, or combine two 34-meter antennas, just to hear Voyager.

I don't understand the glitch, can someone calrify ?

I don't understand the glitch, can someone calrify ?

The "glitch" is described:

The glitch has to do with Voyager 1's attitude articulation and control system, or AACS, which keeps the spacecraft and its antenna in the proper orientation. And the AACS seems to be working just fine, since the spacecraft is receiving commands, acting on them and sending science data back to Earth with the same signal strength as usual. Nevertheless, the AACS is sending the spacecraft's handlers junk telemetry data.

Seems that the anomaly is that while (1) NASA is receiving transmissions (data) implying the AACS is functioning properly to align the antenna, (2) the accompanying data itself is "junk". I think aliens have hacked V'ger's controller and are messing with us (NASA). They don't like this new mucking about on UFO's that the USA pentagon is doing.

All lies and fantasies of this world come from USA.

Hollywood is in that country not by coincidence.

It's a cheap way of domination, keep most of people living in a constant world of lies and fantasies.

What a grouch you are BHAN85! Don't you realize that living in a world of lies and fantasies is the ONLY life there is? Where is there another world than this one? Do you prefer death + houris?

Chinese people lives in real world.

Western people lives in a fantasies lies world. And that have increased since smartphones and internet massification, sad.
