NASA fixes strange error on the farthest space test in the universe
Presently a few 14.6 billion miles from Earth, the organization's unbelievable test began sending odd, peculiar messages back to NASA this year. The 45-year-old space apparatus seemed to work regularly something else in the universe, yet all at once radiated back some "distorted data" about its situation in space.
Back on Earth, the test's designers as of late tackled the issue. They tracked down that Voyager's disposition explanation and control framework, or AACS — a basic framework that guarantees Voyager's sign getting recieving wire focuses at our planet — began steering its data through a "PC known to have quit working a long time back." Ultimately, this debased and confused the information.

It's obscure why the framework started speaking with an old PC. Some place on board the many years old specialty, something is amiss. Be that as it may, Voyager engineers don't believe it's a danger, and hope to find the root misfire ultimately.
"So we're hopeful but still sober minded, yet we actually have more examining to do," Suzanne Dodd, Voyager's task director, said in an explanation.

Explorer 1 is on a really infinite mission. It passed by Saturn in 1980. Almost 10 years prior, in 2013, the test entered interstellar space, meaning it left the air pocket of particles shot out from the sun.
