Just read NASA fixed a problem with Voyager which is interesting but it got me thinking- wouldn’t this be an easy target that some nations could hack and mess up since the technology is so old?
In: Technology
To get an idea of how difficult this would be, read up on the the ISEE-3 Reboot Project. It was a successful effort by radio amateurs (hackers, but the good kind) to contact and “reboot” a 30 year old satellite. This satellite was at a Lagrange point (L1 I believe), much closer to Earth than Voyagers 1 and 2. This was very difficult to achieve, but waaay easier than trying to do the same thing with Voyager.
