Voyager 1's Backup Secrets: Power & Redundancy Lessons Revealed!

The video discusses key lessons from Voyager 1's backup transmitter activation for future space missions.
Voyager One's backup transmitter activation presents several key lessons and insights for future space missions. first, it underscores the importance of redundant systems and fault protection mechanisms in spacecraft design. Its ability to shift to a backup transmitter after more than 4 decades shows the value of such redundancies, especially for deep space missions far beyond human reach. Power management is crucial for long-duration missions. With Voyager One's limited power supply steadily decreasing, NASA engineers have routinely shut down non-essential systems, focusing on vital instruments for data collection.
