The Voyager 1 spacecraft's Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) was used to capture valuable scientific images of the Jupiter and Saturn systems allowing valuable research insights before venturing into deep space (JetPropulsionLab, n.d.). According to JetPropulsionLab, the operations of the cameras are controlled by a spacecraft computer that communicates with Earth’s computer systems (JetPropulsionLab, n.d.). Voyager 1 played a crucial role in exploring the Jupiter system and paved the way for further space exploration around the Jovian systems. The ISS features two cameras, a 1500mm high-resolution narrow-angle f/8.5 camera and a 200mm lower resolution wide angle f/3 camera. (SearchForExtraterrestialIntelligence Institute, n.d.) Equipped with 8 filters to allow coloured pictures, the high-resolution cameras allow scientific data collection such as atmospheric composition and coloured imagery of the planets. Despite its launch in 1977 and subsequen...
