Technical Note: Predictive Failure Analysis for Voyager 2 during LECP Deactivation (March 2026)

Key Points

• The aim is to predict the functional integrity of Voyager 2 during the LECP instrument shutdown.
• Developed a cumulative dielectric damage model D(t) for analysis
• Established a formal timestamped prediction for functional integrity
• Identified a failure threshold of 3.7 during shutdown
• Predicted breach of the failure threshold of 3.7 during LECP instrument shutdown
• Established specific timing for potential failure on March 24, 2026
