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.
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 ...
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.
They are now in interstellar space, far beyond the orbits of Neptune and Pluto. Voyager 1 is more than 15 billion miles from Earth and Voyager 2 nearly 13 billion miles.
And half of the 50 years, NASA Voyager 1 has spent billions of miles traveling into interstellar space. In October, it went ...
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.
The Voyager probes we sent from Earth back in the 70s found an incredible 'wall of fire' at the edge of our solar system ...
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.
But with Voyager sitting more than 24 billion kilometres from Earth, further away than Pluto and the most distant human-made object ever made. A trip to the repair shop would be impossible.
Having suffered through a tricky glitch, the incredible Voyager 1 spacecraft is now operational once again, with data coming in from all four of its current scientific instruments. The spacecraft ...
