It is
has been
four
month
Since
from NASA
Traveler
1
spatialship
sent
A
intelligible
signal
back
has
Earth,
And
THE
issue
has
perplexed
engineers
charge
with
monitoring
THE
probe
exploring
interstellar
space.
But
There is
A
renewed
optimism
among
THE
Traveler
ground
team
base
has
from NASA
Jet
Propulsion
Laboratory
In
California.
On
March
1,
engineers
sent
A
order
up
has
Traveler
1 more
that
15
billion
kilometers
(24
billion
kilometers)
far
Since
Earth - to
"gently

A
of
THE

computers
has
to try
different
sequences
In
It is
software
wrap.
This
was
THE
last
stage
In
from NASA
long distance
troubleshooting
has
to try
has
isolate
THE
cause
of
THE
issue
to prevent
Traveler

Since
to transmit
consistent
telemetry
data.
Cracking
THE
case
Civil servants
suspicious
A
piece
of
corrupt
memory
inside
THE
Flight
Data
Subsystem
(MSDS),
A
of
three
main
computers
on
THE
spatialship,
East
THE
most
likely
guilty
For
THE
interruption
In
normal
communication.
Because
Traveler
1
East
SO
far
far,
he
takes
about
45
hours
For
engineers
on
THE
ground
has
know
how
THE
spatialship
reacted
has
their
orders - the
One Way
light
journey
time
East
about
22.5
hours.
THE
MSDS
collects
science
And
engineering
data
Since
THE
spatialship
sensors,
SO
combined
THE
information
In
A
Single
data
wrap,
which
go
through
A
separated
component
called
THE
Telemetry
Modulation
Unit
has
beam
he
back
has
Earth
through
of the Traveler
high gain
antenna.
Engineers
are
almost
entirely
certain
THE
issue
East
In
THE
MSDS
computer.
THE
communications
systems
on board
Traveler
1
appear
has
be
functioning
Normally,
And
THE
spatialship
East
Sending in progress
A
constant
radio
Your
back
has
Earth,
but
There is
No
usable
data
content
In
THE
signal.
This
means
engineers
know
Traveler
1
East
alive,
but
they
to have
No
preview
In
What
part
of
the SDS
memory
East
provoking
THE
problem.
But
Traveler

replied
has
THE
March
1
troubleshooting
order
with
something
different
Since
What
engineers
to have
seen
Since
This
issue
First of all
appeared
on
November
14.
"THE
new
signal
was
always
not
In
THE
format
used
by
Traveler
1
When
THE
MSDS
East
functioning
correctly,
SO
THE
team
was not
initially
Of course
What
has
TO DO
of
he,"
NASA
said
In
A
update
Wednesday.
"But
A
engineer
with
THE
the agency
Deep
Space
Network,
which
works
THE
radio
antennas
that
communicate
with
both
Travelers
And
other
spatialship
traveling
has
THE
Moon
And
beyond,
was
able
has
decode
THE
new
signal
And
find
that
he
contains
A
reading out loud
of
THE
entire
MSDS
memory."
NOW,
engineers
are
meticulously
comparing
each
little
of
coded
Since
THE
MSDS
memory
reading out loud
has
THE
memory
reading out loud
Traveler
1

back
has
Earth
Before
THE
issue
arose
In
November.
This,
they
hope,
will
allow
them
has
find
THE
root
of
THE
issue.
But
he
will
probably
take
weeks
Or
month
For
THE
Traveler
team
has
take
THE
following
stage.
They
don't do it
to want
has
cause
more
harm.
"By using
that
information
has
design
A
potential
solution
And
attempt
has
put

In
action
will
take
time,"
NASA
said.
This
