The Voyager probes were the first spacecraft to go interstellar and after almost 50 years in space, they are pretty amazing.
NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft made its closest approach to Jupiter. It came within 354,000 miles (570,000 kilometers) of the ...
While Voyager 1 focused on Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 2 visited both those planets and also ventured to Uranus and Neptune.
Voyager 1, which left Earth 46 years ago, is now 15 billion miles away. NASA sifted through computer codes and old documents to fix a problem.
Voyager 1 and 2, Humanity’s Interstellar Envoys, Soldier On at 45 The two probes made flybys of Jupiter and Saturn in the 1970s. Today they’re still doing science way out beyond our solar system.
Voyager 1 and 2 are turning 46. Here’s where they rank among the oldest space probes Some space robots barely last a year, while the Voyager probes keep trucking. What makes a space probe eternal?
NASA engineers have succeeded in breathing new life into Voyager 1 after the spacecraft, launched in 1977, went silent seven months ago.
Voyager 1 hasn't spoken since December of last year. Scientists are trying to fix the historic probe, but they're also preparing to say goodbye.
Voyager 1, meanwhile, had set a course for deep space, using its camera to photograph the planets it was leaving behind along the way. Voyager 2 would later begin its own trek into deep space.
NASA mission controllers raced against time to find a solution before a crucial ground-based radio used for communicating with Voyagers 1 and 2, went offline for upgrades.
They were also not the first missions to carry a message intended for extraterrestrial beings should they reach interstellar ...
A broken computer chip scrambled data transmissions from Voyager 1. Here's how engineers worked from afar to fix the problem.
