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 what end? The amount of work it would take to accomplish a hack of Voyager would be so enormous that the expected gain would also have to be enormous. The only way NASA can communicate with Voyager is via the Deep Space Network, which consists of 3 sites strategically located to provide maximum coverage of the sky. Each of these sites has a 70m (230 foot) diameter antenna that is used to send and receive signals from Voyager. At its current distance, it takes 22.5 hours for a signal just to reach Voyager, and that time is just going to keep getting longer.
