LarmanSubject: Voyager Enhanced Mission Science Return Abstract: An extended Voyager mission was feasible due to engineering improvements that permitted the u

2、se of redundant hardware to enhance science return.Description of Driving Event: After completion of the Voyager primary mission (Jupiter and Saturn encounters), a follow-on mission to encounter Uranus and Neptune was made possible by the DSN arraying antennas and the project incorporating the follo

3、wing:1. A spacecraft design which enabled the implementation of an image motion compensation capability which made possible extremely long image exposures while minimizing image smear.2. A spacecraft design which enables utilization of redundant hardware, such as the Flight Data System memory, to in

4、crease the sequence software on-board storage capacity. This capability has been developed and tested for potential future use to enhance science return.The specific details of the types of spacecraft system and subsystem designs to accomplish this are described in the paper entitled “Voyager Engine

5、ering Improvements for Uranus Encounter“ by Howard P. Marderness.Lesson(s) Learned: 1. A spacecraft design which enables the implementation of an image motion compensation capability can make possible extremely long image exposures while minimizing image smear.2. Spacecraft system architecture and s

6、ubsystem implementations which allow utilization of Provided by IHSNot for ResaleNo reproduction or networking permitted without license from IHS-,-,-redundant elements for operational elements during critical periods of the mission are key to enabling expanded spacecraft mission operations. These r

7、edundant elements can be utilized even though the prime elements remain operational.3. Maintenance of a complete flight software development and validation capability during the mission, to allow utilization of the designed spacecraft software flexibility after launch, will enable significant enhanc
