How they manage to squeeze all the resources of the probe and keep it working year after year is an astounding achievement, pleasantly mind-blowing.

It is important that all the know-how about this type of maintenance never disappear. I hope the designs in electronics that this team would have wanted to have available in the probe are implemented in the new designs.

I forget where I saw the headline, but it's still funny "Voyager: Please let me die. NASA: No."

I should see whether there's documentation of what they moved and what they replaced. I imagine there's "plenty" of room to do that (in the sense that there's probably some programs that are no longer mission-relevant because they controlled systems that have been shut down), but I'd love to know what got tossed.

Heck of a job.
