According to [1], as we speak the DSS 14 antenna at Goldstone is receiving Voyager 1 data at a whooping 160 bits/sec.

- cgb223 6y agoHow quickly is the bit rate degrading from Voyager? Like if it’s 160 bits per second now, how long until it’s 100 bits per second? 10? 1?
- gspr 6y agoInteresting question! At any rate, I believe death is imminent anyway: in a few years, the RTGs will have degraded so far that no single instrument can be powered :-(
