No new info on the status of the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which since Sep 2023 has been sending a 1010 bit pattern instead of real data.
Several popular science outfits have been covering it lately. A bit flip in the FDS is suspected, but it is difficult to identify since the memory cannot be read back.
Several commands were sent yesterday to Voyager 1; responses will arrive 45 hours later tomorrow.
Wonder why they cannot overwrite all prog and data memory.
