Dashing through the regolith to a new location, but still far from the planned route (red arrow). The last image shows details of where the rover has been recently.

Antenna 63 at the Madrid site of the Deep Space Network is dedicated to communication with Voyager 1 at the moment.
Distance to the spacecraft: 25,400,000,000 kilometers.
That's 23.5 hours one-way light travel time; it takes almost two days to send a telecommand and receive a response from the probe.
I still find it astounding how far humanity's creativity can take us.

Voyager FDS Emulator
Voyager FDS Emulator는 1970년대 JPL에서 설계된 Voyager 우주선의 Flight Data Subsystem(FDS)을 완벽하게 에뮬레이션하는 프로젝트입니다. 이 FDS는 1MHz 미만의 속도와 8,192 단어 메모리로 48년간 재부팅 없이 우주 데이터를 처리해왔으며, 에뮬레이터는 원본 명령어 세트, 메모리 뱅킹, DMA, 인터럽트를 구현합니다. 현재는 이 에뮬레이터를 실제 실리콘 칩으로 구현하는 작업이 진행 중이며, SKY130 공정을 사용해 원본보다 작고 빠른 칩을 제작할 계획입니다. 이 프로젝트는 50년 전 문서를 찾아내고 디지털화한 도서관 협력 없이는 불가능했으며, 우주선 컴퓨터의 견고함과 설계의 탁월함을 재조명합니다.
You break it, you buy it!
