Some questions on the basic hardware of the Voyager spacecraft:
1. From which material was the decahedral space bus made ( Aluminium ? ) 2. Exact weight of the spacecraft - literature gives numbers between 792 and 825 kilograms ? Some additional questions: 1. The Deep Space Network of worldwide antenna sites wasn't sufficient to collect the faint signal of the distant spacecraft once beyond Saturn ... I know that the twenty-seven 25-meter steerable radio antennes of the Very Large Array in New Mexico were linked with DSN ... when was this done exactly? ( 1989 Neptune encounter only ? ) 2. What is the actual telecommunications time-lag 1-way to Earth (after having passed the bow-shock ) ![]() |

Is the Von Karman auditorium Voyager spacecraft really a mockup? I was always under the impression that it was Voyager 3.
