On the other hand, it can take the team many weeks to figure out why it made the decision to activate its fault prevention mechanism.
When the team at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California delivers instructions to Voyager 1 over the Deep Space Network,
Voyager 1 often provides engineering data to the team so that they can see how it processed the instructions. This allows the team to better understand how instructions are processed.
It will take a few days here. Therefore, when they sent out their signal and eventually was able to obtain a response for the radio silence Voyager 1,
It ended up taking around 23 hours for the command to traverse a staggering 24 billion kilometers from Earth to where the spacecraft was traveling, and then it took another 23 hours for the spacecraft to come back to Earth.
