Meanwhile, Voyager 2’s low-energy charged particle instrument will shut off on March 24. This leaves each probe with three functioning science instruments. When they launched weeks apart in 1977 ...

NEW YORK — NASA is switching off two science instruments on its long-running twin Voyager spacecraft to save power. The space agency said Wednesday an instrument on Voyager 2 that measures charged ...

The Voyager spacecraft have been cruising through interstellar space for more than 47 years, collecting precious data on the vast cosmos. All that traveling has taken a toll on the farthest human ...
