As Voyager 2 crosses into the mysterious boundary of interstellar space, it has encountered something scientists are calling ...
Voyager 1, Earth’s farthest spacecraft, has been on an extraordinary journey for over 45 years, exploring uncharted ...
Given Voyager 1’s immense distance from Earth, it takes a radio signal about 22.5 hours to reach the probe, and another 22.5 hours for a response signal from the spacecraft to reach Earth.
What Voyager 1’s near-death experience says about the future of space exploration Scientists recently had to repair the Voyager probe from afar. How much longer can they keep it alive?
Engineers have mitigated an issue with Voyager 1’s thrusters, enabling the mission to stay in touch with mission controllers on Earth and send back unique data.
Two of the four science instruments aboard the Voyager 1 spacecraft are now returning usable data after months of transmitting only gibberish, NASA scientists have announced.
Voyager 1 has been traveling through space since 1977, and some scientists hoped it could keep sending back science data for 50 years. But a serious glitch has put that milestone in jeopardy.
A broken computer chip scrambled data transmissions from Voyager 1. Here's how engineers worked from afar to fix the problem.
Voyager 1’s flight data system collects information from the spacecraft’s science instruments and bundles it with engineering data that reflects its current health status.
Science Voyager 1 Activated a Radio It Hadn't Used in 40 Years The switch caused NASA to lose contact with the far-flying probe for a few days in October.
NASA reconnected with Voyager 1, which is located nearly 15 billion miles away from Earth, after a brief pause that triggered the spacecraft's fault protection system.
NASA engineers are turning off two instruments on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to ensure these twin spacecraft can continue exploring interstellar space.
