This circuit board, built by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Pasadena, California, is a component of the Voyager 2 attitude and control system. It is a flight-qualified piece of spare hardware, which was used in laboratory simulations to resolve in-flight problems encountered by the Voyager spacecraft. In 1986, the Voyager 2 space probe passed close to the planet Uranus, and transmitted high-quality images of its surface back to Earth.
