When Voyager 1 and 2 crossed the boundary of the heliosphere, many believed they would drift silently into a cold, empty ,voidinterstellar space. It was expected to be a lifeless region, too sparse ...
In 1977, NASA launched Voyager 1 and 2 on a mission to explore the outer planets. Now, over 45 years later, these incredible probes are detecting something mysterious beyond the edge of our solar ...
Researchers have looked into how far away the Voyager spacecraft could go while we could still detect them, and worked out ...
Voyager 2 launched a couple weeks before Voyager 1, and both have long outlived their original five-year missions to study Jupiter and Saturn.
That’s because the US space agency has now revealed that the only thing keeping Voyager 1 communications running at the moment is a radio that hasn’t been used since 1981.
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?
Voyager 1 and 2 are the only such spacecraft. Before it went offline, Voyager 1 had been studying an anomalous disturbance in the magnetic field and plasma particles in interstellar space.
NASA and Voyager 1 resumed communications and operations after a fault protection system switched the interstellar spacecraft's mode of communication to one using less power.
Voyager 1 defied the odds yet again—after over six months of technical issues potentially foreshadowing humanity’s final farewell to the historic spacecraft, NASA reports all four of the probe ...
NASA’s 46-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft has experienced a computer glitch that prevents it from returning science data to Earth from the solar system’s outer reaches.
Voyager 1 and 2 probes are designed to travel farther into deep space than any other human-made object—but keeping their systems functional requires a power source that’s up to the task.
After weeks of silence, NASA has finally found Voyager 2's signal again, establishing connection with the probe in a miraculous way.
