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 ...

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

The NASA team overseeing the iconic Voyager 2 spacecraft made the decision to power down one of its science instruments in an effort to conserve energy. The probe is currently soaring through ...

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.

Voyager 1 had not used the S-band to communicate with Earth since 1981. Engineers with the Deep Space Network were ultimately able to detect the spacecraft’s communication from the S-band.

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 ...

A recent analysis of 38-year-old Voyager 2 data indicates that the intrepid spacecraft flew past Uranus at an unusual moment when the planet’s magnetosphere was warped by particles from the Sun.

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.
