Right now, more than 15 billion miles from Earth, a 48-year-old spacecraft is hurtling through interstellar space at 38,000 miles per hour.

    Does anyone know if the code that Voyager 1 (or similar era tech) is running is available anywhere for inspection? I would love to poke around in such a historical code base.

      I don’t really understand what I’m looking at, but this looks like a good place to start:

      https://github.com/SRF0x41/Voyager1

      There are links to actual code at JPL, but I don’t know if everything is published online.

      I would think not. They wouldn’t want anyone analyzing it and attempting to send code to the Voyager. Some asshole would break it for lols or politics.
