Making progress

NASA's Voyager 1 probe is once again sending readable radio signals back to Earth after engineers fixed a computer glitch that caused the spacecraft to malfunction in November.

For the first time in five months, Voyager 1 is now transmitting usable data about the health and status of its onboard engineering systems back to our planet, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory announced Monday (April 22). However, engineers have yet to fix the software that enables the spacecraft to return science data.

After months of sending gibberish to NASA, Voyager 1 is finally making sense again

That sounds like some pretty good remote tech support.

This might be the first case of the end user being the one that's hard to understand on the phone for the tech support guy.
