Voyager 1 is in the news recently because of
communications problems and
possible solutions. Is there an online source for documentation on the
Voyager systems, especially the computers and navigation systems?
I have enjoyed reviewing the Apollo systems documentation on the Virtual
AGS Home Page and wondered if there were similar documents available for
Voyager.
"NASA Contractor Report 182505 Computers in Spaceflight: The NASA Experience"
More of a top-level tour of a number of platforms, it covers, in quite
some detail, systems from Gemini to the Space Shuttle and mentions the
RCA 1802 numerous times. Samples of some NASA DSLs (HAL/S and GOAL).
Extensive citations and bibilography. Voyager and Galileo are covered
in Chapter 6.
Public domain. PDF link at: https://ntrs.nasa.gov/citations/19880069935
Excellent stuff in there.
