How do they even still have energy to send and receive signals? That’s one heck of a durable power source.
It’s literally decaying plutonium-238. And because it decays, it’s putting out less power than when it started. They’ve shut down certain operations to conserve power, and obviously prioritize things like communication back to earth.
