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 recall being very nervous about the Voyager 1 Jupiter flyby as the interesting satellite passes occurred after closest Jovian approach and I was extremely worried about radiation messing up the craft before they happened.
I managed to be in the Huntley Lodge in Montana, as I recall, for the great 1979 solar eclipse. It was a sufficient distraction to make my Voyager anxiety tolerable. Time magazine managed to cover both events in the same issue. |
