The author has also published a Setun-70 emulator (a Soviet ternary computer rather than a binary one):

I was just looking at this yesterday. Apparently Voyager 1 architecture, ISA, etc are well known but Voyager 2 is still denied via FOIA on grounds of copyright.

Are the distance and signal delay numbers supposed to be accurate? NASA's page has them substantially different. Nice work, however!

Next add realistic signal delay so you have to wait a day to get the result

Is it possible to hook this up to some kind of satellite space simulator to control a virtual voyager?

Wow. Only 10 instruction set? Looks like father of RISC cpu design
