NASA Shuts Off Key Instrument On Voyager 1 To "Keep Humanity's 1st Interstellar Explorer Going"
The instrument was used to measure low-energy charged particles, including ions, electrons, cosmic rays originating from our solar system and galaxy.

Uranus Found Emitting Internal Heat, Reviving Hopes for Flagship NASA Mission
Astronomers have discovered that Uranus emits 12% more heat than it receives from sunlight, contradicting past data from Voyager 2. The internal warmth likely comes from leftover energy in the planet’s core, offering clues to its tilt and interior structure. This unexpected heat has intensified calls for a flagship NASA mission to Uranus. Scienti...

NASA Restores Communications with Voyager 1, Ending 2023 Power Glitch
After a communication failure caused by a power glitch in October, NASA has restored contact with Voyager 1. The spacecraft, now 15.4 billion miles away, continues to transmit data from its remaining instruments. The probe's systems were affected by energy limitations, but the problem was resolved in November, allowing its scientific mission to con...

NASA Engineers Restore Voyager 1 Communications After 15 Billion-Mile Transmission Disruption
NASA successfully reconnected with Voyager 1 after an unexpected communication disruption caused by a shutdown of the spacecraft’s primary transmitter. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California pinpointed the cause as Voyager’s fault protection system, which manages power by shutting down non-essential systems. With a second...

NASA Voyager 2 Shuts Down Plasma Science Instrument to Conserve Power
NASA engineers have powered down the plasma science instrument on Voyager 2 to conserve energy. Launched in 1977, the spacecraft is now 12.8 billion miles from Earth. With power decreasing yearly, NASA aims to keep at least one instrument functional into the 2030s. The plasma science instrument, which helped confirm Voyager 2's crossing into inters...

"Hi, It's Me": NASA's Voyager 1 Phones Home From 15 Billion Miles Away
NASA's Voyager 1 probe -- the most distant man-made object in the universe -- is returning usable information to ground control following months of spouting gibberish, the US space agency announced Monday.

NASA's Voyager 1 Is Glitching, Sending Nonsensical Messages Back To Earth
NASA reports that the spacecraft, currently situated 15 billion miles away from our planet, is experiencing a communications glitch.

How 'Voyager 2', 12 Billion Miles Away, Re-established Contact With Earth
NASA has succeeded in re-establishing full contact with Voyager 2 by using its highest-power transmitter to send an "interstellar shout" that righted the distant probe's antenna orientation, the space agency said Friday.

NASA's Voyager 2 Sends "Heartbeat" Signal To Earth After Blackout
NASA's distant Voyager 2 probe has signaled it is in "good health" after mission control mistakenly cut contact for several days, the US space agency said in its latest update.

NASA Probe Gives Insight On Solar System's Border With Interstellar Space
The journey of NASA's dauntless Voyager 2 spacecraft through our solar system's farthest reaches has given scientists new insight into a poorly understood distant frontier: the unexpectedly distinct boundary marking where the sun's energetic influence ends and interstellar space begins.

42 Years On, Voyager 2 Charts Interstellar Space
A probe launched by NASA four days after Elvis died has delivered a treasure trove of data from beyond the "solar bubble" that envelops Earth and our neighbouring planets, scientists reported Monday.

After 41 Years, NASA Spacecraft Escapes Sun's Bubble, Enters Interstellar
Ever since it left Earth 41 years ago, the Voyager 2 spacecraft has sailed across the solar system on a stream of energetic particles from the sun.

NASA's Voyager 2 Probe Travels Beyond Heliosphere in Longest Running Mission
Voyager 2 was launched in 1977, just before Voyager 1, and both have travelled well beyond their original destinations: Jupiter and Saturn, stretching their four-year lifespan into 41 years.

NASA Successfully Fires Voyager 1 Thrusters After 37 Years
NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft -- cruising interstellar space billions of miles from Earth -- was back on the right track Friday thanks to thrusters that were fired up for the first time in 37 years.
