The latest study by NASA scientists shows that there is now a signal in the Voyager 1 spacecraft data that indicates that this spacecraft is alive.
According to Tekna technology and technology news service, it seems that NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is still alive. According to the published reports, this spacecraft has been exploring space for about 50 years, and since the end of last year, problems have been observed in this spacecraft sending meaningless messages to the earth.
Voyager mission project scientist Linda Spilker says: Due to the problems created in this spacecraft, conversations containing scientific data turned into dialing noise.
In their recent efforts, this group of researchers managed to observe a sign of life in this spacecraft in the form of a signal. This signal belongs to the memory of the flight data subsystem in this old spacecraft, where it is read back. This subsystem is the same board computer that was responsible for transmitting flight data to the ground.
These data were transferred in inappropriate formats. But at least they were able to provide information. Therefore, despite the lack of guarantees about the health of this spacecraft, this evidence can be a hopeful sign of Voyager's life, which indicates that this mission may continue in the future. This is a promising message and a great development for the Voyager spacecraft, says Joe Stelick, director of the Heliophysics Division at NASA.
According to NASA, this spacecraft has a lot of data about the situation or scientific and engineering data in its memory. Now the engineers are trying to compare the previous readings with the current data and find the difference between them. In this way, we can understand the reason for the strange performance of this spacecraft. Of course, this action may take a long time to reach the final result.
NASA said in its statement that the task force is currently analyzing the data readout. The information obtained in this review can devise a potential solution. Of course, it takes more time to implement. Voyager spacecraft is currently going through a challenging time. The spacecraft's problems continue, from dwindling power supplies to fatal software problems.
