NASA Completes Risky Thruster Swap on Voyager 1 Probe
NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft has been flying for almost 50 years, far surpassing even the wildest dreams of its designers. The probe has encountered its fair share of issues over the years, especially in the past decade,
NASA Pulls Off Delicate Thruster Swap, Keeping Voyager 1 Mission Alive
Engineers needed to swap out the clogged thrusters on the spacecraft as it continues its journey through interstellar space.
NASA coaxes Voyager 1's thrusters back to life
After almost five decades sailing through space, NASA is trying to squeeze a few more years out of the venerable Voyager 1 deep space probe by swapping a wonky thruster system for a disused secondary one to ensure the craft can keep its radio antenna pointing at the Earth.
Voyager 1's Thruster Swap Ensures Continued Operation of Aging Spacecraft in Interstellar Space
NASA Voyager 1’s thruster issues are resolved with a strategic fix, ensuring continued data transmission from deep space.
NASA Fixes New Issue on Voyager 1 as It Journeys Through Interstellar Space
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 only essential systems with some heaters turned off, Voyager 1’s propulsion system was much colder and could risk damage if reactivated.
NASA's Voyager 1 probe swaps thrusters in tricky fix as it flies through interstellar space
NASA's most distant spacecraft had a critical thruster problem far from home. Fixing it required a long-distance call to overcome extreme cold and dwindling power.
Voyager 1 is slowly dying 15 billion miles from Earth
Voyager 1 spent the last 47 years hurtling in a straight line away from Earth, exploring the deepest reaches of space that humanity has ever ventured. However, NASA must carefully manage Voyager 1 as the probe ages and slowly breaks down 15 billion miles away from the closest person.
Voyager 1 team accomplishes tricky thruster swap from 15 billion miles away
NASA's Voyager 1 faces age-related thruster issues due to clogging. Engineers switch to backup thrusters to keep Voyager operational.
