3、ns.Description of Driving Event: During the prime Voyager mission, Voyager 2 suffered two potentially mission-catastrophic faults. These were: 1) failure of the spacecraft receiver plus significant degradation in the signal acquisition capability of the redundant spacecraft receiver, and 2) the azim

A significant contribution to the successful recovery from these faults was the availability of spare spacecraft hardware and associated support equipment, which was used to simulate postulated failures plus evaluate and validate proposed solutions and wo
