A computer which was part of this program incorrectly decoded a command, which caused it to turn on some heaters and damaged a magnetometer.
A computer which was part of this program incorrectly decoded a command, which caused it to turn on some heaters and damaged a magnetometer. A flipped bit on another computer involved with this program also caused problems for the same craft. Instruments from this program which were shut down early include the Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer and the Imaging Science System. One picture taken as a result of this program contains the now-famous (*) "Pale Blue Dot." Originally conceived as part of the Mariner program, this program is essentially a scaled-back version of the Grand Tour that takes advantage of an alignment of the gas giants. Both of the crafts involved carry golden records intended to be messages to other civilizations. For 10 points, name this program that sent two unmanned probes to study the outer planets and the edge of the solar system.
