In November 2023, NASA's Voyager 1 mission sent home garbled data, effectively stopping useful communication with the spacecraft. NASA engineers narrowed the problem to one of its onboard computers, the flight data system (FDS). A new signal from Voyager 1 contained a memory dump of the entire FDS system, which engineers are using to troubleshoot the system and develop a fix. They can still send commands to Voyager 1 and hope to get it back online.
