MM or MC......Voyager Expedition


Watched a very interesting program on PBS the other day about the Voyager Expedition.  A lot of time was devoted to the gold record that accompanied the space craft on its journey.  The Chief Engineer mentioned that a cartridge was included along with the record and with graphic instructions on how to play the recording.  No mention by the engineer if MM or MC cartridge was chosen.  Does anyone have any inside information on what type of cart was included?  Just curious.....Thanks!

Also any magnet inside a cart would fade over time specially the thousands of years it will need to get anywhere. So ceramic makes more sense for longevity

it was a fantastic program very well done pbs is still doing great tv
