The Voyager 1 spacecraft will soon have a new territory to explore--interstellar space. Voyager chief scientist Ed Stone discusses whether the spacecraft will have a bumpy exit from the solar ...

And half of the 50 years, NASA Voyager 1 has spent billions of miles traveling into interstellar space. In October, it went ...

After a 33-year journey, the Voyager 1 spacecraft has now crossed into an area at the edge of our Solar System where there is no outward motion of solar wind.

Voyager 1 fell back to another communication system, the S-band transmitter, which it has not used since 1981. This signal is lower power and much harder to detect, and the team wasn't even ...

NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft will achieve an extraordinary milestone, becoming the first human-made object to reach a full ...

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 ...

A spacecraft from Earth has left its cosmic backyard and taken its first steps in interstellar space. After streaking through space for nearly 35 years, NASA's robotic Voyager 1 probe finally left ...

They were also not the first missions to carry a message intended for extraterrestrial beings should they reach interstellar ...

Although this provided Voyager 1 and 2 with about 470 W at 30 volts when they launched in 1977, the plutonium’s 87.74-year half-life means they have annually lost roughly 0.79-percent their power.

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.
