It is a fantastic piece of engineering. Must have been phenomenal to be a part of the voyager team. I remember how awe struck I was when the issue of National Geographic arrived with the picture on the cover of a volcanoe errupting off of the edge of IO. Truly a wake up to the universe and an indication that everything up there wasn't as "dead" as our moons surface had proven to be.
