Comment on Voyager 1 stops communicating with Earth

But of a misleading title. The voyager can still receive commands and send data to earth, the problem is that instead of useful data it just keeps sending repeating code of no use. Not a huge fan of these sensationalized and just blatantly wrong news article titles.

Would you consider someone screaming gibberish at you, communicating?

Haha I mean that’s fair. Although I’m mainly just displeased with the title of the article. Its worded in a way that conveys that we’ve lost contact with the satellite completely, which is not the case. Just a bit too click baity for my tastes.

I didn’t quite read it that way, but I can see how someone could read it that way. It does really seem like the probe is having problems with its internals, less than “communication has stopped”

It’s not gibberish. It’s alien for “Sorry, no interstellar science for you”

It’s actually just gotten far enough that the data is being rendered at lower fidelity to save resources
They didn’t expect us to get sensors outside the heliosphere before winning the game, but players always immediately find crazy and unexpected ways to break your games

From what I read they can talk to the CCS (Computer Command System) just fine but the CCS is getting garbled data from the FDS (Flight Data Subsystem)

Flight data is like the log of sensor data right?

People do this on a daily basis.
