...engineers equipped the vehicles' computers with 69 kilobytes of memory, less than a hundred thousandth the capacity of a typical smartphone. In fact, the smartphone comparison is not quite right. The Voyager computers have less memory than the key fob that opens your car door. All the data collected by the spacecraft instruments would be stored on eight-track tape recorders and then sent back to Earth by a 23-watt transmitter—about the power level of a refrigerator light bulb.
...
The amount of software on these instruments is slim to none. There are no microprocessors — they didn't exist! ...designers could not rely on thousands of lines of code to help operate the spacecraft...almost everything was hardwired. Today's engineers don't know how to do this.
