Also a great site for seeing satellites & such . You can set it up with your location and get exact times & where to look.

“”The Voyager Computer Command System (CCS) would have 70kb of memory. In-flight programming allowed for new routines and programs to be uploaded regularly in non-volatile memory and eliminated the need for large amounts of memory to be required onboard.

The original software for the Voyager probes was written using Fortran 5 then ported to Fortran 77, and today there is some porting in C. Low-level, light-weight software is increasingly important as the probes move farther and farther away from Earth and communication becomes slower.

The management side of the Voyager computer system also saw some changes to the typical structure; H. Kent Frewing, a spacecraft software engineer, would manage the engineers responsible for each computer system and up to four programmers would work together on the project at once. An On-Board Software Design Team was put together to guide software development, and software validation was completed by the Capability Demonstration Laboratory. Once the initial software had been developed, hardware that was set up in the same configuration that would be used onboard the spacecraft would then be used to test and continue development.””

Just before the Voyagers go silent, wouldn’t it be fun to load more music? I realize there is the gold-plated phonograph record. Perhaps add Rockin In The Free World, or a Ronald Reagan speech.
