I forget where I read it, but apparently the Voyager command centre is a couple of terminals in the corner of a computer room at JPL that have a little sign stuck on them: "Please don't touch - live voyager mission" or words to that affect.
- hugh3 16y agoSounds likely. On the other hand, there's still some decent-sized resources going into the project. When I visited the Tidbinbilla space tracking station I was told that the 70m dish there was at that moment busy communicating with one of the Voyagers. I have no idea whether there's still anyone working full time on Voyager. It sounds a little dull, because I'm pretty sure I've been reading these "Voyager reaches heliopause" articles for about ten years now, and there sure as hell ain't much beyond that...
