It is 46 years old and has as much technology as a Nokia 3310: But it still continues to receive updates!

The update has been a real trouble for both Android and iOS users lately . While devices that do not receive updates, those that experience lag and freezing, and therefore annoy users, many users now take into account how many more years of updates they will receive when purchasing a device. NASA has undertaken something that will surprise the technology world. He sent an update patch to a probe sent into space in 1977. Here are the details…

NASA sent an update patch to the 46-year-old space probe!

According to the statement made by NASA, it sent update patches to the two Voyager Space Probes sent into space in 1977. Accordingly, the patches sent to both probes to protect the repairs made against the malfunction that occurred last year and to add new features to the vehicles were sent 46 years after the vehicles went into space.

This actually shows us several things at once. While our phones do not receive updates when they are 4, 5 years old, it is quite interesting that a spacecraft receives an update at the age of 46. As you know, while it is necessary to be fast to follow the development of technology even in the last 20 years, we see that these devices are still being used and updated in the 46-year-old developing space technology.

In addition, the space probes in question have much less technology than the phones we have in our pockets today. They are just responsible for taking the information in space and sending it to the center, that’s all. If we need to mention the statements made on the subject, they prevented the accumulation in the fuel tubes of the probes. The other problem was the computer problem experienced on Voyager 1 last year. Precautions were taken against this situation for both probes.
