Through impressive coding from Earth, the code was split up into smaller segments and slotted into other chips.
Meanwhile, they rerouted other codes to the new locations.

This radio communication would have traveled 15 billion miles from where Voyager 1 currently is.
NASA launched Voyager 1 in 1977 to explore our solar system and send back data.
It has done an amazing job for decades.
