When NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft sailed past Jupiter in 1979, it recorded a stunning and unusual phenomenon—plasma waves as ...

An analytical look at Voyager 1’s current trajectory and speed—traveling over 17 km/s—and why it remains the most distant ...

The Voyager 1 spacecraft (illustrated) is back online after a few months of transmitting garbled data. It’s now poised to continue its exploration of interstellar space. JPL-Caltech/NASA ...

After many months of extremely long-distance repairs, NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe is fully operational once again. “The spacecraft has resumed gathering information about interstellar space ...

Engineers at NASA have successfully fired up a set of thrusters Voyager 1 hasn’t used in decades to solve an issue that could keep the 47-year-old spacecraft from communicating with Earth from ...

Voyager 1 has lived long because, although its technology is aging, it still stands in resilience to show forth NASA’s prescience and inventiveness. The recent communication difficulties only amplify ...

All right, everyone — we can all breathe a sigh of relief. NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is fully operational once more, with all four science instruments returning usable data to Earth. The ...

Still, Voyager 1's ground team identified the FDS as the likely source of the problem. The Flight Data Subsystem was an innovation in computing when it was developed five decades ago.

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.

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft experienced a brief pause in communications after putting itself in a protective state to conserve power. Now, it is using its secondary transmitter that’s been ...

On November 14, 2023, Voyager 1 sent what was assumed to be its last message to Earth. Up until then, the spacecraft had sent science and engineering data for 46 years.

Voyager 1 will likely have enough power to run its scientific instruments until 2025, per Newsweek ’s Tom Howarth, but NASA should be able to maintain communication with the spacecraft into the ...
