[Illustration: Each Voyager carries a message in the form of a
12-inch gold-plated phonograph record. The record, together with a
cartridge and needle, is fastened to the side of the spacecraft in a
gold-anodized aluminum case that also illustrates how the record is
to be played. [P-19728]]
THE BRAINS OF THE VOYAGER SPACECRAFT[1]
The Voyager spacecraft had greater independence from Earth-based
controllers and greater versatility in carrying out complex sequences of
scientific measurements than any of their predecessors. These
capabilities resulted from three interconnected onboard computer
systems: the AACS (attitude and articulation control subsystem); the FDS
(flight data subsystem); and the CCS (computer command system).
Operating from “loads” of instructions transmitted earlier from Earth,
these computers could issue commands to the spacecraft and the science
instruments and react automatically to problems or changes in operating
conditions.
