voy1/2_v_c_o_TPMBK (P-19765, PIA04495 eq)

“This artist's concept of the Voyager spacecraft with its antenna pointing to Earth. The identical Voyager spacecraft are three-axis stabilized systems that use celestial or gyro referenced attitude control to maintain pointing of the high-gain antennas toward Earth. The prime mission science payload consisted of 10 instruments (11 investigations including radio science). Only five investigator teams are still supported, though data are collected for two additional instruments.”

A reverse image search of this photograph reveals that everybody - I mean EVERYBODY - and their brother, mother, second-cousin, the neighbor across the street…you name it, has posted this. Even NASA.

 

From the estate of Eric Burgess and possibly featured as “figure 4-8(a)” in one of his many books.

 

Based on the photo ID number and its overall gorgeous appearance, possibly by Ken Hodges.
