Due to reliability requirements placed on the Voyager spacecraft system design and a mission resulting in long two-way, light time communication links, on-board automatic fault detection and correction capabilities are a significant feature of that spacecraft's design. Most of the protection to otherwise mission-catastrophic failures is implemented in the software of the voyager's central computer, while some resides in an attitude control-dedicated processor. This paper will present the role that automatic fault protection plans in achieving Voyager's overall reliability, its design evolution, and how its design was validated during system testing. In-flight experience will also be described, and from the lessons learned there-in, conclusions and recommendations will be drawn for the benefit of future designs.
