So anyway, here's the Voyager comms schedule on the Deep Space Network for the current 2-week time window: https://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/pdf/sfos2024pdf/24_04_18-24_05_06.sfos.pdf
It's quite... terse, and I'm having to guess at a bunch of what it's saying because for some reason nobody's uploaded the schematics, instruction set and communications reference for Voyager, at least not that I can find.

What the schedule says, if I'm following along: last Thursday, the DSN sent five commands to Voyager 1. Three `RELOCATE FDS EL-40 WITHIN VIM5`, one `LINK VIM5`, and a final `EL40 & LOW SUBC`. With the background above, I think that translates to: within FDS memory, relocate the EL-40 program to different areas of VIM5 (presumably a memory module?), in 3 different chunks. Then, um, I dunno what LINK VIM5 is, maybe that's the whole "re-link and patch up address references" thing?
