NASA's Voyager Spacecraft Discovers a 'Wall of Fire' at the Edge of Solar System NASA has always strived to solve the ...

In the latest shutdown, the cosmic ray subsystem experiment on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2’s low-energy charged particle ...

Voyager 2's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years, ...

Voyager 2 is the only craft to visit Uranus. Its findings may have misled us for 40 years. “The spacecraft saw Uranus in conditions that only occur about 4% of the time," according to the lead ...

Voyager 1 – and its sibling, Voyager 2 – were always meant to be a testament to humanity’s ingenuity. When they left Earth in the summer of 1977, they did so carrying a record that was ...

They were also not the first missions to carry a message intended for extraterrestrial beings should they reach interstellar ...

Originally launched in 1977, Voyager 2 has been making its way through space for over 40 years now. Of course, all that time in space means that, eventually, the probe’s power supply will give out.

NASA has turned off one of Voyager 2's science instruments as power conservation becomes crucial for the interstellar exploring spacecraft located 12.8 billion miles from home.

Although this provided Voyager 1 and 2 with about 470 W at 30 volts when they launched in 1977, the plutonium’s 87.74-year half-life means they have annually lost roughly 0.79-percent their power.

Uranus, the ice giant, may have been misunderstood for nearly 40 years. A rare solar wind event was taking place when NASA’s Voyager 2 zipped by in 1986, a study suggests, which affected what we ...

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.

NASA’s Voyager spacecraft twins, on the other hand, have really proven themselves to be incredibly rugged. Voyager 2 , which is over 43 years old at this point, has been traveling out of our ...
