Whilst extracting data for the "notional DSN coverage" of my realtime simulations, I stumbled over (the probably widely known) fact that from around April 2010, only the Canberra DSN station will be able to communicate with Voyager 2 as it is that far south of the ecliptic by then. At least they will get 24 hours coverage of Voyager 2! Might be a selling point to maintain and upgrade the antennas there ...

Maybe they can conjure up some way to use tracking of the spacecraft to probe the density of the interstellar medium.
But other than that, I can't see how it would be useful. -------------------- -- Hungry4info (Sirius_Alpha)
