That the thing is still transmitting is an engineering accomplishment beyond wildest expectations. What great work by all the people involved all those years ago and the people on the ground troubleshooting today when things go sideways.

βThe Voyager spacecraft have far surpassed their original mission to study the outer planets,β said Patrick Koehn, Voyager program scientist at NASA Headquarters in Washington. βEvery bit of additional data we have gathered since then is not only valuable bonus science for heliophysics, but also a testament to the exemplary engineering that has gone into the Voyagers β starting nearly 50 years ago and continuing to this day.β
