Voyager 1's cosmic ray subsystem is switched off
node
Engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory commanded off the instrument that had helped identify the heliopause crossing thirteen years earlier, as part of a plan to stretch the falling power budget. The command took over a day to arrive. Three science instruments remained running on the spacecraft afterwards.
A node is not a place. Drawing it on a map would assert something about the world that no stored fact supports.
