In an old Spaceflight article I have found a mention of a test to be made by Voyager 1 in late 1986 to use the antenna as a sunshade to take pictures very close to the Sun. The idea was that if tests were successful, Voyager 1 could be used to image dust structures discovered in the infrared range by IRAS a few years before.
Anybody knows the results of the test (except that, of course if paved the way for the solar system portrait)? |
