Incredible that they're doing over the air updates for a piece of 50 year old technology using an extremely low bandwidth link, with hours of latency, with no physical access, and doing so without ever permanently losing the link or bricking the device.

I looked into its Viking Computer Command Subsystem (CCS), but there's little documentation out there.

They’re not always so lucky. Mars Global Surveyor was bricked with a bad update.

No air in space. Over the void updates?
