Re: Voyager spacecraft computer - cctalk

There is a printed version of this printed by Alpha Books, ISBN 1-56761-463-9. I bought it
years ago (1998)

. Not sure if it’s 100% the same text, but it has a lot of nice pictures and was issued
around the 25th anniversary of Apollo 11. It’s on Amazon right now for $7.12.

  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.
