I hadn't thought of it before, but evident in your animations of communication, Voyager I has moved 2,278,000 miles by the time a return signal from Earth - even with a simple echo - reaches back - and that's not taking into account Earth's travels during that time 34 hours.

[@Loralanthalas]

They did. Those old i900 could carry a signal for 50 miles. They'd melt your brain so we had to recall them. But we had a few in Montana, Wyoming, and other remote parts that refused to give up their phones for years because nothing else would give the same clarity or coverage. The phones still work if you can find an analog network and break into their frequencies. Electronics are amazingly durable if no water is around.

If we have a spacecraft that can catch up with it, then why not launch that new spacecraft in a direction that we've never been? The Voyager probes are pretty much artifacts at this point.

I humbly apologize of this my expression, specially regarding the time of my presenting. I got the idea of that equation arround July last year, during my effort to find the connection between dark matter and "Cloud and rain model Universe". I humbly thank you...🙏🙏

[@vanjabulajic1618]

Elaborate please

[@Realnatur3]

Thank you very much friend, for giving me a chance to elaborate this.......🙏🙏 Arround 2012, based on "Pattern fact of nature", which I call it as the Law of everything...I propose "Cloud and rain model Universe" as structure of the Universe. This model got its starting point; first by galaxies characters (stars in galaxies and filament of galaxies) which has "pattern equality" with cloud right there on our sky. Then this concept harmonious with phenomenon of dark matter whith its characters of 85% of the content of the matter in observable Space and its gravity effects against any space's objects like stars inside galaxies. This dark matter has Pattern equality with atmosphere of the Earth. Then this model need indicator to get the direction of the Universe's core which has pattern equality with the Earth. In 2022, I red the case of "Dark flow" which actually has been claimed by Kashlinsky in 2008. This Dark flow case is what "Cloud and rain model Universe" need to get direction of the Universe's core which is at southern of constellation Centaurus and Hydra. At that moment, I also proposed the concept of "Compressed matter". Compressed matter is the matter contains 100 % of matter and 0 % of space. Samples of compressed matter are; blackhole, dark matter, star's nucleus, Earth's nucleus and Universe's core. To have this concept (Cloud and rain model Universe), I have to answer at least 3 main points (of course there are more cases than those which I have to answer); 1. What is CMB. 2. How I explain hubble's law in Cloud rain model Universe. 3. If dark matter to be compressed matter as I propose, how it is never enter our solar system. .. Okey, 1. CMB is traces of dark matter dynamics in space. 2. If we release many balloons from one spot of the Earth, we will get that every of those balloons to have hubble's law character. And no 3. The main different between our solar system and interstellar is Temperature. Then I try to develope Newton's gravity equation by addiing factor Temperature and density, in such a way so the equation to be F = g.d1.d2.m1.m2/t1.t2.r.r. Then I found that this equation can explain many things like; Atom structure, nuclear reaction, Earth's nucleus, blackhole, supernova, dark matter, why Iron expanding by temperature increase, water boils by temperature increase, and many other. See the case of electrons to orbit proton and neutron. They get balance of their orbit by this derivation of Newton's gravity equation and not by electron's charge. If any atom gets to experience the extreme low temperature, that atom as ordinary matter will change to be compressed matter and vice versa. So this equation can answer why dark matter break into sub atomic matter when dark matter get into the surface of outer solar system or "Oort Cloud". I have prepared more complete and comprehensive article regarding this. Thank you very much for your kind attention,..regard ...🙏🙏​@@vanjabulajic1618

We need to bring back craftsmanship of this quality in todays disposable world

Bravo to the programmers. Monumental achievement.

That’s awesome 😎

I just wonder if the Hubble Space Telescope can see both voyager 1 and 2 using their location?

[@7777alphabeta]

I cannot say forsure but I believe if these launched from Florida I may have been there due to my grandmother booking a bus ride ahead of time for myself, and my 4 older cousins so we could witness the historic event. I believe we were there in '77 or '78 in the winter. I also took a couple pictures but I was 6 or seven and my pics are a little crooked and smudgy looking also through the window of the bus....too funny, but I remember it taking off, hearing the countdown and people cheering!! It's a fond memory from my childhood I cherish to this day.

Fascinating and remarkable, bravo .

Things that were made years ago were miles better than nowadays and lasted. 😊

It's a joy that there appears to be no Dunning and Kruger patients posting here.

[@ironhorsehero1988]

Fantastic to think that Voager 1 can still receive communication and updates to what in technology terms is something archaic. Meanwhile back here on Earth any phone or tablet over 10 years old has to be renewed because it can no longer receive updates. 🤔

Evolving into V'GER. Launched on my bday. Travel far with ❤ and dont come back... please 🥺

[@Jim-fe2xz]

Well done! In other words shifted it's attention to something else thereby bypassing the problem - works with people too! Thankfully "Veeger" isn't searching for it's creator leafing destruction in it's path LOL!

[@michaelclement1337]

Has NASA released any info on the analysis of the memory dump?

[@nobodyspecial9513]

.Both Voyager probes power themselves with radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs), which convert heat from decaying plutonium into electricity. What's your witnessing is vast delay, and not enough energy to keep up. To solve the problem you're going to have to heat it up.

[@MI7DJT]

Voyager 1 had a 23W radio (with full power). When it's signal reaches earth it is only a billionth of a billionth of a Watt. No radio on earth has a squelch sensitive enough to open at that weak signal. Also, the very second Voyager 1 started sending garbage data NASA lost it's position and cannot therefore allow for doppler shift, which must be critically accurate for a reception to be unbroken. There is no error correction either so as a radio engineer I have to call BS on this one. NASA use off-the-shelf radios.

[@ae86dude]

As long as it doesn't return sentient and try to kill us like the first Star Trek movie.

[@emom358]

I would be happy to replace it's power pack. I too have nothing but time. 😂

[@GrahamA63]

Please tell me the frequency and power of it's transmitter and how the dish is directed to earth as we spin and fly at immense speed through space? Yes it's sounds like utter nonsense to me.

[@briand01]

@GrumpyG63 frequency 2.3 GHz or 8.4GHz you can reply at 2.1GHz power is 150,000-watt maybe

[@GrahamA63]

@@briand01 The ground station power is irrelevant - what's the power from the space craft? What about steering the dish on the craft?

[@PruneHub]

Finally. V-ger is trying to contact the creator. As for "the depths of space" Voyager hasn't even gotten into the shallow end of the pool. If it was diving into the Challenger Deep it would be less than a femtometer deep so far.

[@DuckOfRubber]

Have they tried unplugging it and plugging it back in? That usually works for my router. Even if it never works again its hard to call the Voyager missions anything short of a resounding success. Both spacecraft achieved all of their mission objectives decades ago everything since then is a bonus.
