Researchers have looked into how far away the Voyager spacecraft could go while we could still detect them, and worked out ...

The Voyager 1 spacecraft is functioning normally again after the aging probe’s dwindling power supply triggered a communications blackout. It’s one of several challenges faced by the ...

Voyager 1 is limping after suffering a series of radio system failures, leaving the probe with a tenuous connection to Earth via a low-power radio it hasn't used for 43 years.

Before it met the 30,000-50,000 kelvin wall at the edge of our Solar System, Voyager 1 took its final images. Skip to main content. ... One especially power-hungry instrument ...

Voyager 1 is shouting across the cosmos ... The spacecraft's fault protection system monitors how much energy Voyager 1 has left, ... NASA shuts off Voyager 2 science instrument as power dwindles.

For some reason, the command sent to Voyager 1 triggered its fault protection system. This system puts the probe in a lower power state, which also changed the X-band signal to something NASA’s ...

Voyager 1’s fault protection system appeared to have been triggered twice more, and it turned off the X-band transmitter altogether. ... using a delicate procedure to preserve Voyager 1’s power.

While Voyager 1 completed its tour of the outer Solar System in 1986, it has since ventured out into interstellar space. If Voyager 1 can survive for three more years, reaching 50 years in ...

NASA has turned off one of Voyager 2's science instruments as power conservation becomes crucial for the interstellar exploring spacecraft located 12.8 billion miles from home.
