once the voyager probe is about to run out of power, is it possible for NASA to say "fuck it", shut down all the currently running instruments, and cycle through the disabled but still-functioning instruments that they shut off years ago in order to conserve energy?
i know it sounds pointless, but for most of those instruments, they have never been used in interstellar space before. i know the PLS and PPS are too fucked up to re-enable, but imagine what kind of data we could get from the radio science system or IRIS/UVS in interstellar space. also, they might have lost most of the software for it, but imagine if they could find a way to briefly turn the imaging system back on and get pictures from 160 AU out.
it would be amazing to get that kind of data, would be much nicer to see voyager go out like that rather that just slowly shutting down each system at a time and going out with a whimper in 2025-ish
