NASA has finally received a message from interstellar space in a way that makes sense. "Hi, It's me!" This is exactly what NASA’s official Voyager account tweeted a few days back to celebrate Voyager 1’s comeback. Considering everything that has happened in the past five months, this is nothing short of a triumph to be celebrated.
At 15 billion miles away, Voyager 1 holds the title of the farthest human-made object in space. The spacecraft has been traveling for nearly half a century now. However, due to a glitch that led to a chain of confusing communication patterns, the last five months have been very stressful in the spacecraft's history.
But what exactly was the glitch that took so long to fix? Why didn’t the traditional strategy of turning it on and off work? Finally, and most importantly, is the issue completely resolved, or is there something else that needs to be addressed?

@@420glass The Voyagers took advantage of a rare once every 176 years planetary alignment in order to achieve their mission. That alignment would have to happen again if we wanted to follow the path of the probes. That will next happen in another 129 years.

Nope, if it had been more complex, current engineers would have had more space to store the code while removing some features that aren't truly necessary today. Complexity doesn't always mean fanciness, but current engineers understand that having too many constraints, even at the storage level, can affect operation. For example, if we were to send a probe for deep space exploration today, we'd need to consider what to include for the next 1,000 years, what the average storage size might be 1,000 years from now, and that would make it sustainable for 100 years. Human development in already advanced fields progresses much faster than anticipated. We could ask why there are no flying cars when they were imagined 100 years ago, but the reality is we might not have developed flying cars, yet we have achieved 1,000 times the computing performance, which no one anticipated because it was an already researched field.

Reminds me of what our team did to a satellite in geosync orbit a few years ago. The satellite stopped performing as required and there were thoughts of moving another bird into the other bird's orbit. The satellite was launched in the 80's and was past it's expected life. We moved some code around on the bird because memory had gotten corrupted. The end result was the main programmer was given a $10,000 bonus and a promotion. Of course, no mention of the constellation is allowed. Maybe in 50 years he will be able to talk about it openly. I wont' because I won't live that long (I am 70). I remember using the POKE command on my VIC-20. I was in the USAF when both of the Voyagers were launched. If I remember correctly, II was launched before I. Always loved that one of the Star Trek movies was based off one of the Voyagers.

We'll have to wait until the machine planet finds it and fixes it. It'll come back bigger and better.

We should have sent out new voyagers over the years that way each new one would have been better and they could help keep links open to the earlier probes.

They need multiple sent years apart that can talk to each other. If the first one can't transmit to earth it could transmit to the next Voyager to relay back. They would need to be sent on the same trajectory.

15b miles, which has taken the Voyager almost 50 years to travel, takes light about 22 hours. So it's travelled, on average 0.0000022831 the speed of light. *sigh*

The voyager spacecrafts represent the finger of humankind reaching out into the depths of infinity . The beacons of a civilization which wanted to understand the cosmos.

It was made back before we outsourced everything. Back then we built things like a brick outhouse. Nowadays half the parts would be made in China.

Look, it’s simple. The more user friendly something is, the harder it is to fix. Consumer example of this is DOS vs Windows. Mac doesn’t have this issues because even when Mac used Finder, it was just as user friendly as macOS, if not more. Even cars follow this example. Shade tree mechanics are a thing of the past. There is so much electronic control system in new cars that you need computerized diagnostics systems to fix some issues.
