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...)

Thought I should draw attention to the latest SFOS 12th October https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/pdf/sfos2023pd..._10_30.sfos.pdf Note this is the second time the deadband has been widened in about a month. IE the free drift between thruster firings. It was originally 0.1deg, widened to 0.3deg a few weeks ago, now 0.5deg. The only reason I can see for this is to reduce the thruster firings. So either they've found theres less fuel than expected or the final thrusters (the TCM's) are failing. I hope theres another reason but I cant think of it :-(
