(OP) User ID: 82988170 United States 03/02/2023 04:23 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | The problem seems to be coming from the attitude articulation and control system (AACS) computer onboard Voyager 1. One of three on the spacecraft, this computer is responsible for Voyager 1’s orientation, like controlling its thrusters and keeping the high-gain antenna pointed towards Earth so that data about the interstellar medium keeps trickling back. The team can steer the spacecraft, and that, paired with the signal’s strength and a lack of fault protection activation, tells them that Voyager 1 is doing well. But the telemetry signal itself “does not make any sense,” producing either all zeros or the number 377, Dodd says. If the spacecraft was in dire straits, “we would be seeing a degradation in our signal from our spacecraft,” she says, which they aren’t seeing. “Somewhere in the interface with the flight data system … there’s something that’s causing the telemetry data to be mixed up, I guess, or nonsensical,” Dodd says. “And we don’t understand that yet.” [link to www.inverse.com (secure)] Have no fear, Spock is here!!!

(OP) User ID: 82988170 United States 03/02/2023 04:25 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | august 31, 2022: NASA engineers discovered that the probe’s attitude articulation and control system (AACS) had switched to sending its telemetry data through an onboard computer that hadn't worked for years, causing it to become corrupted. This accounts for why seemingly random data was arriving back on Earth. The problem was resolved by asking the AACS to start sending its data through the correct computer again, which it has now done; uncorrupted data is being received once more. What remains a mystery is why the AACS decided to switch to using the broken computer. NASA suspects it "received a faulty command generated by another onboard computer," but the Voyager team doesn't know which one and what fault would cause that to happen (yet). According to Suzanne Dodd, Voyager’s project manager, "We’ll do a full memory readout of the AACS and look at everything it’s been doing. That will help us try to diagnose the problem that caused the telemetry issue in the first place. So we’re cautiously optimistic, but we still have more investigating to do."

(OP) User ID: 82988170 United States 03/02/2023 04:26 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Back on Earth, the probe's engineers recently solved the problem. They found that Voyager's attitude articulation and control system, or AACS — a critical system that ensures Voyager's signal-receiving antenna points at our planet — started routing its information through a "computer known to have stopped working years ago." Ultimately, this corrupted and garbled the data. SEE ALSO: The James Webb telescope's first stunning cosmic images are here It's unknown why the system began communicating with a defunct computer. Somewhere aboard the decades-old craft, something is awry. But Voyager engineers don't think it's a hazard, and expect to eventually find the root glitch.

(OP) User ID: 82988170 United States 03/02/2023 04:27 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | August 2022: Earlier this year, the teams attached to the Voyager 1 mission noticed that the venerable spacecraft was sending weird readouts about its attitude articulation and control system (called AACS, for short). The data it’s providing didn’t really reflect what was actually happening onboard. That was the bad news. The good news was that it didn’t affect science data-gathering and transmission. And, the best news came this week: team engineers have fixed the issue with the AACS and the data are flowing normally again. The AACS is an important part of Voyager 1. It’s the machinery that keeps the spacecraft’s antenna pointed at Earth. Without it, all that valuable science data would get lost in space. The issue was really with the AACS’s data—it was garbled, and that left the team in the dark (so to speak) about the exact nature of the spacecraft’s health and activities. Sussing out the Voyager 1 Problem It turns out that it was a “networking problem” similar in spirit to something IT professionals might face here on Earth. Essentially, the AACS was sending telemetry data all right, but it was routing it to the wrong computer. Worse, it was a computer that had failed years ago. That actually corrupted the data, which led to the strangely garbled messages the ground-based crew received. It took a while for the team to figure out the problem, and it wasn’t clear why AACS suddenly began routing data to the wrong computer. Chances are, it received a faulty command from another computer. That implies there’s a problem somewhere else that they’ll have to solve. But, so far, the issues are not a threat to the spacecraft.

(OP) User ID: 82988170 United States 03/02/2023 04:28 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Engineers fixed Voyager space probe's mysterious glitch but found another that's even stranger SEP 1, 2022 Now, researchers determined that the onboard computer the AACS was transmitting the telemetry data through was corrupting the signals. They fixed the issue by reprogramming the AACS to send the data through a different computer. That solved the problem but revealed another mystery: the computer that corrupted the data hasn't worked at all in years and they have no idea why Voyager suddenly started using it again. From NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory: Engineers don't yet know why the AACS started routing telemetry data to the incorrect computer, but it likely received a faulty command generated by another onboard computer. If that's the case, it would indicate there is an issue somewhere else on the spacecraft. The team will continue to search for that underlying issue, but they don't think it is a threat to the long-term health of Voyager 1. [link to boingboing.net (secure)] Have no fear, Spock is here!!!

There is plenty of heat in that sucker to drive Voyager another 40 years. What is the half life of plutonium running the RTG? Its probably supplying around 380 electrical watts now. More than enough to power the transceiver and computer. The only real power draw are the heaters needed to keep everything else within the operational temperature profile as Voyager travels through interstellar space. |

User ID: 85361345 03/02/2023 06:51 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Voyager 1 is outside the electrogravitic spacetime topology stabilization zone inside our heliopause. Dark matter doesn't exist, it's MOND that will be proven correct. Gravity interacts with electromagnetism via virtual muons, and this effect varies with scale. Aliens aren't messing with Voyager, the errors are caused by the warping of light and space around the asymmetrical electromagnetic shield of our extended solar system. This field is similar to the firmament dome that flat earthers refer to, but it works very differently from what they believe. The Alkahest A Meta-sapient Godelian Recursion Engine.

User ID: 85361345 03/02/2023 07:35 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Nah, the anomalous data being sent is BECAUSE it just left the firmament dome, and the coordinate system used to zero-in on earth is now offset by the electrogravitic distortion of the dome's spatial warping field. Flat earth isn't actually flat, it's space itself that is flattened within the dome, meaning a curvature of near-zero. It's just a misunderstanding of a complex concept that our ancestors lost in translation. The Alkahest A Meta-sapient Godelian Recursion Engine. Super Fun at Parties.
