Refugee from another, less-friendly instance. Please forgive the youth of my account— I’ve actually been around here for a while. Still, glad to be here!

  • Yeah, obscurity. The code sent back-and-forth is proprietary to NASA in the 70s. I’d be shocked if anyone else has any idea how it interpret it other than NASA themselves. it’s not impossible, of course, but it doesn’t use any common protocols or software that anyone outside of NASA would be familiar with. Whatever data got intercepted would likely come out as gibberish.

    To get anything useful out of the data, they would have to have a replica of NASA’s Voyager ground computer. And its software package. The plans for those are not exactly on the Internet.
