Historical Note on Error-Correcting Code
The theory of error-correcting codes was initially developed by Marcel Jules Edouard Golay and Richard Wesley Hamming.
The method has since been used to correct transmission errors on messages received from outer space on space missions to the planets.
As a result, detailed close-up pictures of the planets have been obtained.
