NASA engineers are turning off two instruments to ensure that the twin spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, can continue exploring space beyond the limits of the solar system. To save energy for ...

Voyager 1, our most advanced spacecraft, sends signals to Earth for the fifth time in five months. The accomplishment is a testament to NASA engineers’ resourcefulness and persistence. Let’s dive ...

On March 5, Voyager mission engineers at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in southern California confirmed they have already turned off Voyager 1’s cosmic ray subsystem experiment. NASA plans to do ...

After 37 years of disuse, a set of thrusters aboard Voyager 1 activated on Wednesday, firing up humanity's farthest-flung spacecraft and hopefully giving it a longer life than it had before.

In what is probably the longest-distance tech support operation in history, the Voyager mission team succeeded ... days of waiting between sending the patch and finding out if it worked, the ...

The 1800-pound Voyager 1 spacecraft was launched aboard a Titan-Centaur rocket from the Kennedy Space Center at Cape Canaveral on September 5, 1977. Voyager 2 preceded it into space by 16 days ...

This has been the case with NASA's twin spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. In order to save power so that both objects can continue to explore space, experts have shut down the cosmic ray ...

After successfully completing each half of their tours, the spacecraft kept going (and going… and going) traveling in opposite directions out into the universe. According to NASA, Voyager 1 is ...

The twin spacecraft launched in 1977 and are currently in interstellar space, or the space between stars. Voyager 1 discovered a thin ring around Jupiter and several of Saturn’s moons ...
