Anyone know the latest Voyager status? I've hear rumors, but I'm wondering if anyone has anything more concrete (I won't share the rumors, as I really don't know much about it, so...)

I was wondering if anyone else had noticed / had any info on what appears to be a mystery about the low and varying signal from Voyager 1? For well over a month now the signal from Voyager 1 (as shown on https://eyes.nasa.gov/dsn/dsn.html) has been varying by approx 3db over the course of an hour or so and its at best about 2db lower than it should be, at worst 5db or 6db lower. With DSS63 out for long term maintenance its currently often being tracked on 2 x 34m dishes at Madrid which are unable to obtain data lock for much of the time. Only DSS14 now seems able to hold data lock.
Tweeting one of the Canberra DSN controllers he confirms this is the case, its not a website anomaly. The mystery is that he tells me the Voyager project apparently are not seeing any problem with the spacecraft? |
