Voyager 1 was designed for a one-way mission, with no ability to reverse its course. Once it passed the outer planets, it was set on a trajectory that takes it deeper into interstellar space, away ...

In May 2025, NASA successfully reactivated a set of thrusters on the Voyager 1 spacecraft that had been dormant since 2004. This was a crucial step for scientists as the currently active thrusters ...

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has been in space for nearly five decades, enduring the harsh environment of outer space. In the latest development, the team at the US space agency managed to restart a ...

Holy cheese cows, NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft that keeps on giving, has achieved a remarkable feat by reviving a set of backup thrusters that had been dormant since 2004—that's 21 years!

Engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California have revived a set of thrusters aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft that had been considered inoperable since 2004. Fixing the ...

Engineers determined the broken heaters were likely unfixable and opted to rely solely on Voyager 1’s backup roll thrusters to orient the star tracker. “I think at that time, the team was OK with ...

Now, NASA has announced that the twin Voyager spacecraft are losing some of their features in a bid to extend their lifespans in the face of a diminishing power supply.

NASA’s twin Voyager probes, which launched in 1977, are the longest-running missions to send data home. But as their power supplies wane, scientists are saying goodbye to one instrument on each ...

NASA’s twin Voyager probes, which launched 47 years ago, are shutting off some science instruments in an effort to conserve power and keep their storied missions going. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 ...

When they launched weeks apart in 1977, the Voyager probes carried identical sets of 10 science instruments. But over time, the probes’ power supply has gradually diminished.
