Voyager 1’s original roll thrusters stopped working more than two decades ago after power was lost in two internal heaters, which means the spacecraft has been relying on the backup roll ...

As Voyager 2 crosses into the mysterious boundary of interstellar space, it has encountered something scientists are calling ...

In November 2026, NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft will achieve an extraordinary milestone, becoming the first human-made object to reach a full light-day from Earth. This momentous achievement ...

NASA revived roll thrusters on the 47-year-old Voyager 1 that were thought to be dead for two decades. According to the space agency, scientists at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory of NASA, located ...

In 2023, Voyager 1 started sending gibberish from deep space, but that issue was resolved last year. Also in 2023, a glitch in Voyager 2 caused it to briefly turn its antenna away from Earth.

NASA Engineers Revive Long-Dormant Thrusters on Voyager 1, the Farthest Spacecraft From Earth, in a ‘Miracle Save’ In the nick of time, NASA teams addressed clogging issues in the probe’s ...

Voyager 1 relays messages to NASA’s mission control team after losing contact due to a technical issue. The aging spacecraft is relying on an old radio transmitter.

Whoops. NASA accidentally sent commands to Voyager 2 that cut off communications with the probe by pointing its antenna the wrong way. The satellite is programmed to reset its orientation multiple ...

The RTG arrays offered Voyager 1 and 2 about 470 watts at 30 volts when they first launched. Given the plutonium’s 87.74-year half-life, they now operate on about two-thirds their original power.
