This development occurred as the craft is now travelling some 23.3 billion kilometres away from our planet.<\/p>\n<p>This week, however, NASA announced that while the probe continues to operate normally and keeps &#8220;gathering and returning science data&#8221;, the readouts from Voyager 1\u2019s attitude articulation and control system (AACS), which controls the craft\u2019s orientation, &#8220;don\u2019t reflect what\u2019s actually happening onboard&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>While it would appear that the AACS itself is working, the telemetry data it returns is &#8220;invalid&#8221;, NASA notes, and this issue hasn\u2019t yet triggered any fault protection system on board the spacecraft.<\/p>\n<p>Suzanne Dodd, project manager of Voyagers 1 and 2 at NASA\u2019s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, said that &#8220;a mystery like this is sort of par for the course at this stage of the Voyager mission&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>She further explained that the team may either find the source of the anomaly and a way to deal with it \u2013 either via software changes or by utilising one of the probe\u2019s redundant hardware systems \u2013 or they may not identify it and instead adapt to it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>For More News And Analysis About <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/sierra-leone\">Sierra-Leone<\/a> Follow <a href=\"https:\/\/www.africa-press.net\/\">Africa-Press<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Africa-Press &#8211; Sierra-Leone.
