SPACERIUM

As you all know, Voyager-1 is the only human made craft which has become the farthest traveller in our space journey till date, and its 46 year journey has been quite wonderful. Voyager-1 spacecraft was launched on September 5, 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Voyager-2 was also launched along with it. The motive of both these spacecraft was to continue their journey in our universe leaving the planets of the Solar System behind and explore other planets. And today, even after 46 years, it is crossing the boundaries of the Solar System and moving ahead in the outer space. It is a matter of great pride that this spacecraft made with such old technology is still looking at us and saying bye-bye and going away. As you all know that Voyager-1 crossed the heliosphere on 25th August 2012 and entered the interstellar space and is currently 15 billion miles away from us. Due to old technology and huge distance, after so many years, its transmission system which converts the data into binary ...

  Hey everyone, have you ever called someone long distance and gotten nothing but static on the other end? That's kind of what's happening with Voyager 1, our brave little spacecraft exploring the vast emptiness beyond our solar system. After traveling for over 40 years and sending back amazing pictures and information, Voyager 1 started speaking gibberish in November 2023. Instead of the usual stream of scientific data, we're now getting a confusing mess of 0s and 1s (basically the computer language spaceships use). It's like it forgot how to talk to us! What Broke Down? The culprit seems to be the Flight Data System (FDS), a tiny computer onboard Voyager 1 that packages all the cool space stuff it finds into a message we can understand. It's like a translator between space geek and Earthling. There are two main ideas about what went wrong: Space Junk Mail: Tiny particles zipping around space, called cosmic radiation, might have messed up the FDS's memory. Imag...
