Editing Core dump (section)

== Space missions ==
The [[NASA]] [[Voyager program]] was probably the first craft to routinely utilize the core dump feature in the Deep Space segment. The core dump feature is a mandatory telemetry feature for the Deep Space segment as it has been proven to minimize system diagnostic costs.{{citation needed|date=October 2016}} The Voyager craft uses routine core dumps to spot memory damage from [[cosmic ray]] events.

Space Mission core dump systems are mostly based on existing toolkits for the target CPU or subsystem. However, over the duration of a mission the core dump subsystem may be substantially modified or enhanced for the specific needs of the mission.
