I will never whine about debugging problems again<\/a>:<\/p>\n

On March 3, the team noticed that activity from one part of the flight data system stood out from the rest of the garbled data. While the signal wasn\u2019t in the format the Voyager team is used to seeing when the flight data system is functioning as expected, an engineer with NASA\u2019s Deep Space Network was able to decode it.
…<\/b>
The decoded signal included a readout of the entire flight data system\u2019s memory.<\/p>\n

By investigating the readout, the team determined the cause of the issue: 3% of the flight data system\u2019s memory is corrupted. A single chip responsible for storing part of the system\u2019s memory, including some of the computer\u2019s software code, isn\u2019t working properly. While the cause of the chip\u2019s failure is unknown, it could be worn out or may have been hit by an energetic particle from space, the team said.<\/p>\n

The loss of the code on the chip caused Voyager 1\u2019s science and engineering data to be unusable.<\/p>\n

Since there was no way to repair the chip, the team opted to store the affected code from the chip elsewhere in the system\u2019s memory. While they couldn\u2019t pinpoint a location large enough to hold all of the code, they were able to divide the code into sections and store it in different spots within the flight data system.<\/p>\n

\u201cTo make this plan work, they also needed to adjust those code sections to ensure, for example, that they all still function as a whole,\u201d according to an update from NASA. \u201cAny references to the location of that code in other parts of the (flight data system) memory needed to be updated as well.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
