Voyager 1 spacecraft is sending weird signal from the edge of the Solar system

Don’t worry, the famous probe is fine. Or at least it seems that way for now. However one of the instruments on board is sending wrong telemetry data. The AACS instrument is responsible (among others) for spacecraft orientation, which is key for pointing the communication antenna to Earth, so the probe can send data to us.
