    has the definition of “no longer transmitting” changed recently?

    When functioning properly, the FDS compiles the spacecraft’s info into a data package, which is then transmitted back to Earth using the TMU. Lately, that data package has been “stuck,” the blog post said, “transmitting a repeating pattern of ones and zeros.” Voyager’s engineering team traced the problem back to the FDS, but it could be weeks before a solution is found.

    I mean, i’m not a scientist, is that not transmitting. flipping click bait titles.
