EEVblog 1547 (Part 1) - Contacting the Voyager 2 Space Probe

Shared in Voyager news threads as an accessible look at the real equipment used to talk to the probes.

EEVblog interviews Richard Stephenson of NASA's Canberra Deep Space Communications Complex about how the 70m DSS-43 dish is used to contact Voyager 2. It covers the ground antenna and low-noise receiver side of deep space communication. This is a 2023 re-release of a 2017 video.
