Scientific paper
The engineering changes that had to be made in the Voyager 2 spacecraft in order to enable it to fly beyond the originally planned encounters with Jupiter and Saturn and the underlying engineering strategy leading to the encounter with Uranus are discussed. Fixes of the azimuth actuator failure, receiver failure, and memory failure, and capability upgrades of Image Data Compression, aperture augmentation protective coding, smear reduction, Image Motion Compensation, power management, and contingency planning are summarized. The use of the Computer Command Subsystem in the extension of the voyage is described. The ways in which the strategic priorities, including spacecraft preservation, protection of the near-encounter load, development of new ground and spacecraft capabilities, and repair or circumvention of existing spacecraft faults, were accomplished are reviewed, and the accomplishment of additional tasks is also discussed.
