NASA's Voyager 1 probe swaps thrusters in tricky fix as it flies through interstellar space
NASA's most distant spacecraft had a critical thruster problem far from home. Fixing it required a long-distance call to overcome extreme cold and dwindling power.
47-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft just fired up thrusters it hasn’t used in decades
Engineers have mitigated an issue with Voyager 1’s thrusters, enabling the mission to stay in touch with mission controllers on Earth and send back unique data.
Voyager 1 team accomplishes tricky thruster swap from 15 billion miles away
NASA's Voyager 1 faces age-related thruster issues due to clogging. Engineers switch to backup thrusters to keep Voyager operational.
Voyager 1 team accomplishes tricky thruster swap
Engineers working on NASA's Voyager 1 probe have successfully mitigated an issue with the spacecraft's thrusters, which keep the distant explorer pointed at Earth so that it can receive commands, send engineering data,
NASA coaxes Voyager 1's thrusters back to life
After almost five decades sailing through space, NASA is trying to squeeze a few more years out of the venerable Voyager 1 deep space probe by swapping a wonky thruster system for a disused secondary one to ensure the craft can keep its radio antenna pointing at the Earth.
