and is still sending back information and responding to commands! after 45 years of operation. Currently, it takes 20hours and 33 minuets for a transmitted signal to travel between earth and the spacecraft. ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

If they don't know WTF it is, it's a UFO... Here's the fascinating part... Voyager 1's data processing capacity is roughly the same as that in the CHIP that protects ONE 'vape stick' 18650 battery... or mebbie not even THAT much. It's technology that is now so far antiquated Two systems (plasma spectrometer and photopolarimiter) are defective... 5 systems currently disabled (for any one of many reasons, including power conservation), 4 are still grinding onward. Digital computers they are... and they haven't had any 'upgrades' in over four decades... still operating. I can't say that I've got ANY computers here that have survived 10 years without suffering some pitiful failure, but the most frequent 'failure', is 'operating system upgrade'... It's a good thing today's 'tech' environment wasn't designing Voyager. ------------- Ten Amendments, Ten Commandments, and one Golden Rule solve most every problem. Citrus hand-cleaner with Pumice does the rest. |

And when that signal gets back to earth, it is a 1/0000000000th of a watt, in power. |

"

All the while, Voyager 1 is just zipping along at 38,000 mph travel speed. So when earth receives one of its signals, Voyager has already traveled 779,000 miles further… |
