NASA mission controllers raced against time to find a solution before a crucial ground-based radio used for communicating with Voyagers 1 and 2, went offline for upgrades.

“The spacecraft has resumed gathering information about interstellar space,” the agency announced last ... Voyager 1 ...

Research breakthroughs are often sagas of passion, curiosity and sacrifice. If Trump’s proposed budget cuts for 2026 are ...

A side effect of upgrades to an Earth-based antenna that sends commands to Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, the communications pause could have occurred when the probe faced a critical issue ...

If its thrusters fail completely, Voyager 1 could lose its ability to point its antenna toward Earth, therefore cutting off communication with Earth after nearly 50 years of operation. To make ...

Voyager 1 first left our solar system in 2012, and Voyager 2 followed in 2018. Needless to say, the probes have transcended their mission, which was originally intended to last just five years, ...

NASA engineers successfully reactivated Voyager 1’s backup roll thrusters, dormant since 2004, to ensure continued spacecraft orientation as primary thrusters face clogging risks.

NASA engineers have revived the thrusters of a spacecraft operating 15 billion miles away from Earth ... Voyager 1 spacecraft, which adjust the spacecraft's orientation, have been 'dead' for the ...
