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 |

I was able to found times of Jupiter flyby for Voyager 1 in UTC Earth Receive Time (some 17.7 minutes after the real event):
1979.03.05 12:42 Jupiter 1979.03.05 15:51 Io 1979.03.05 17:56 Europa 1979.03.06 02:53 Ganymede 1979.03.06 17:45 Callisto I also have a precise spacecraft time for Io flyby, 15:13:21, and two versions of Jupiter flyby time, 12:05:26 or 12:04:36. I presume that one of this time is what was seen online and another is what was calculated post-flyby from all tracking points. |

How come only 17.7 minutes? Light time should add up to more than that.
EDIT: Ahh, probably a typo, should read 37.7 minutes instead. -------------------- |
