Anyone know the latest Voyager status? I've hear rumors, but I'm wondering if anyone has anything more concrete (I won't share the rumors, as I really don't know much about it, so...)

Has anyone tried to determine if Voyager 1 or 2 will fly
anywhere near a Kuiper Blet Object? Is there enough fuel on the Voyagers to conduct a Mid-Course Maneuver to enable a close flyby of a KBO? Assuming all of that, what is the status of each camera on the Voyagers? When were they last used? I bring this up because the Voyagers are now in the Kuiper Belt, whose components were discovered after the launches of the Voyagers, and because "new" KBO's are being detected all the time. Perhaps one of those ice balls will be in the right place at the right time. Another Phil |
