The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing on their more-than-47-year journey since their 1977 launches, they each are much farther away from Earth and the Sun than Pluto.
Retired NASA Chief Systems Engineer Jim Porter, brings extensive experience designing and building NASA spacecraft, including work on the James Webb Space Telescope, the Nancy Roman Space Telescope and the hurricane-tracking GOES weather satellites. He has led engineering teams for over twenty space programs with the experience necessary to lead and manage NASA and commercial space programs. In this presentation Jim explains the amazing engineering and science of the Voyager program, and how NASA repaired a 47 year old computer that's 15 billion miles from earth.
