NASA's Voyager 1, the furthest spacecraft from Earth, simply refuses to die. In a recent update, the space agency revealed that the little probe that could has once again sputtered back to life ...

Also in 2023, a glitch in Voyager 2 caused it to briefly turn its antenna away from Earth. The Voyager team remains optimistic about keeping the two spacecraft operational long enough to celebrate ...

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are about 15.5 billion miles and 13 billion miles (nearly 25 billion kilometers and 21 billion kilometers) from the Earth, respectively, making them the most distant human ...

Currently, Voyager 1 is traveling 15.4 billion miles (24.8 billion kilometers) from Earth, taking this celebratory signal roughly 23 hours and 3 minutes to reach the historic spacecraft.

John Casani, who has died aged 92, was an American spaceflight engineer who led the teams that pioneered Nasa’s explorations ...

Voyager 1, launched in September 1977, uses more than one set of thrusters to function properly. Primary thrusters carefully orient the spacecraft so it can keep its antenna pointed at Earth.

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.
