      The ultimate security by obscurity. Do you have a 30m antenna? Can you point it exactly at the space ship with almost no error? Do you know what it’s code and protocols are? OK, please reprogram Voyager

      OP says reprogram all of the satellites. So I would assume that would include the modern ones with encryption as well.
