NASA's 2024 Communication Crisis with Voyager 1!

The video discusses a communication challenge faced by NASA engineers while managing Voyager 1 in October 2024.
In October, 2024, Voyager one encountered a communication challenge that put its resilience to the test. On October 16th, NASA engineers sent a command to activate one of its heaters, a routine measure to keep specific instruments warm. But this command triggered Voyager One's Fault Protection System, an automated protocol designed to protect the spacecraft from potential malfunctions. The system immediately shut down its primary X-band radio transmitter, which had been Voyager's main link with Earth for decades.
