I wonder if anybody has a Voyager chronology with such details as dates of all TCMs or precise times of closest approach to different moons of Jupiter back in 1979. What I've found of pre-Saturn TCMs is here:
Voyager 1 1977.09.05 Launch 1977.09.11 TCM-1 1977.09.13 TCM-1 1977.10.29 TCM-1A 1978.06? TCM-2? 1979.01.04 Jupiter Observatory Phase 1979.01.29? TCM-3 1979.02.21 TCM-4 1979.03.05 Jupiter Flyby 1979.04.09 TCM-5 ... 1980.08.22 Saturn Observatory Phase 1980.10.10-11 TCM A8 1980.11.06 TCM A9 1980.11.12 Saturn Flyby Voyager 2 1977.08.20 Launch 1977.10.11 TCM-1 1978.05.03 TCM-2 1979.04.24 Jupiter Observatory Phase 1979.06.27 TCM? 1979.07.09 Jupiter Flyby 1979.07.09 TCM? 1979.07.23 TCM? 1980? TCM B6? 1981.02.26 TCM B7 1981.06.05 Saturn Observatory Phase 1981.07.19 TCM B8 1981.08.18 TCM B9 1981.08.26 Saturn Flyby |

It's too bad that finding info on Voyager is so difficult. The nice folks at the Voyager project at JPL have helped me a couple of times, but even they have trouble putting their hands on some things. I'd been looking for photos of the cable harnesses entering the scan platform instruments for a model I'm building, and the Voyager project couldn't locate what I was after. I imagine the closeout photos are all in boxes in the JPL archives by now! I was grateful for the effort, I know they're doing a lot with a small crew.
Oh--the Voyager Neptune Travel Guide is available through NTRS, I believe, but not the Uranus one. It's a big PDF, but beautifully written. Also, and slightly OT, I'd love to hear from anybody who's got good info on the solid upper stages that were actually controlled by the Voyagers themselves. There's precious little on them out there on the Internet, and I haven't found anything substantial even in books about the Voyager project. You can PM me if you wish. Jeff |
