The Voyager 1 team sent some more commands today to the spacecraft to relocate code around the failed memory area in the FDS computer. The command will reach Voyager 1 tomorrow, 22.5 hours later; we will know the results on Saturday.
🤞

The tweet from the Voyager team indicates that the software being relocated is the "program for proper encoding and compression of engineering data (EL-40)."

Would an analogy of replacing spark plugs on a running car be accurate?
