Voyager 1, launched Sept 5, 1977, is furtherest human artifact from Earth, over 15B miles, 24B kms. Magnificent remote debugging has it back sending understandable data after 6 month outage. Flight Data Subsystem computer, 7400 series TI chips (see image), with 8K 16 bit words of RAM, all code volatile so directly wired to power from radio isotope thermal generator. If I interpret multiple stories correctly, one of its CMOS 4,096 bit (= 512byte) memory chips flaked out. Prep code for data to transmit was there. JPL was still able to poke memory with code elsewhere in memory, and so spread data prep functionality around in unused little blocks of memory elsewhere, and patched call instructions elsewhere. [And BTW, the FDS still actively using a magnetic tape recorder for large data storage.] Now sending good data back again 46.5 years into its mission. https://t.co/DfHaCV3vgB
