A communications glitch is preventing NASA's Voyager 1 probe — the farthest spacecraft from Earth in history — from sending home data, and mission scientists are growing concerned.
But if you have all the schematics, there’s really no reason not to have a digital simulation. I mean, we’ve had emulated analog synthesizers in pro audio apps for at least a decade. Surely NASA could do this by now.
Yeah. Except time and money. Or maybe the simulation would be too inaccurate and only give a false sense of safety? That’s the only reason I can think of why not to do this.
