Auxiliary Power NASA engineers have pulled off an incredible feat, switching the agency's ancient Voyager 1 probe to a ...

Engineers working on NASA's Voyager 1 probe have successfully mitigated an issue with the spacecraft's thrusters, which keep ...

Engineers needed to swap out the clogged thrusters on the spacecraft as it continues its journey through interstellar space.

Engineers have mitigated an issue with Voyager 1’s thrusters, enabling the mission to stay in touch with mission controllers ...

Voyager 1 used the thrusters for a variety of purposes as it flew by planets such as Jupiter and Saturn in 1979 and 1980, respectively. Now, the spacecraft is traveling on an unchanging path away ...

Voyager 1 has three sets of thrusters, which were designed to help it perform several planetary flybys. However, now that it's on a straight path away from the solar system, "its thruster needs ...

NASA's Voyager 1 faces age-related thruster issues due to clogging. Engineers switch to backup thrusters to keep Voyager operational.

But as Voyager 1 travels on an unchanging path out of the solar system, its thruster needs are simpler, and either thruster branch can be used to point the spacecraft at Earth. In 2002 the mission ...

In response, NASA engineers decided to return to the original attitude thruster system, but they faced a new challenge: the spacecraft now has significantly less power than it did in 2002. Running on ...
