Voyager RF Correction Pipeline — Garrett 2026The 2022 Voyager 1 AACS telemetry anomaly, attributed to routing through a defunct onboard computer, may have an alternative or contributing cause: periodic interstellar plasma interference inducing systematic bit flips in the telemetry stream prior to transmission. The attached pipeline demonstrates that the "corrupted" AACS data recovers to valid spacecraft state values after plasma inversion — suggesting the primary computer was dormant, not failed.
