Voyager 2 still alive and kicking

Thursday 3 June 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments

NASA did successfully restart a module of Voyager 2 space probe due to a wrong bit that was disrupting science data transmission back to Earth.
This reset was done on a 33 years old spacecraft while traveling around 55000 km/h on the edge of our solar system, 13.8 billion kilometers from the sun.

This is when “good design practices” reaches new heights. Three hooray for JPL.
