Scientific paper

Following the encounter of Voyager 2 with Saturn and the subsequent approach, in January 1986, to the planet Uranus, the NASA Deep Space Network (DSN) undertook a reshaping of Voyager's end-to-end data system to provide communication to earth with a sufficient number of images for Uranus characterization. In-flight evolution of the spacecraft and ground system is described, with particular attention given to the aspects of target motion compensation, line enhancement, arraying, and encoding data streams. Solutions to the on-board problems encountered during the flight are presented. Voyager and its principal elements, an actuator for the scan platform, and the coding diagram are among the illustrations included.
