I am very interested in the engineering aspects of the Voyager mission but I have been unable to find many papers online. There are some like:

Smith et.al.: Voyager Imaging Experiment
Ludwig and Taylor: Voyager Telecommunications
Kohlhase: The Voyager Neptune Travel Guide
Kohlhase and Penzo: Voyager Mission Description.

There are also some good books but they are not very detailed.

A lot of stuff is published in journals I have no access for and / or I have been unable to locate. Press kits and other official releases are very hard to find too. I am still hoping to find the launch and encounter kits. A
online search for MJS 77 is even more disappointing.

I am specially interested in:

- design and function of the several subsystems (computers, DTR, data handling, data compression, software, star trackers, propulsion, scan platform etc.)
- performance and anomalies of subsystems and science instruments
- TCM's, encounter sequences, imaging campains, data rates, downlink performance etc

I am less interested (at the moment) in scientific results and related papers.

Is there anybody able and willing to help. Thank you.

Please go to this Web site and scroll down to the Voyager listings

--------------------
"After having some business dealings with men, I am occasionally chagrined,
and feel as if I had done some wrong, and it is hard to forget the ugly circumstance.
I see that such intercourse long continued would make one thoroughly prosaic, hard,
and coarse. But the longest intercourse with Nature, though in her rudest moods, does
not thus harden and make coarse. A hard, sensible man whom we liken to a rock is
indeed much harder than a rock. From hard, coarse, insensible men with whom I have
no sympathy, I go to commune with the rocks, whose hearts are comparatively soft."

- Henry David Thoreau, November 15, 1853
