To save power, NASA has switched off another scientific instrument on its long-running Voyager 2 spacecraft.The space agency said Tuesday that Voyager 2’s plasma science instrument — designed to measure the flow of charged atoms — was powered down in late September so the spacecraft can keep exploring for as long as possible, expected into the 2030s.

NASA Switches Off Instrument on Voyager 2 Spacecraft to Save Power

NASA engineers disconnected one of the scientific instruments of the Voyager 2 apparatus. This was due to the fact that the battery charge of the device, which explores the interstellar space, gradually decreases, reports Space.com. Voyager 2 was launched into space on August 20, 1977, November 5, 2018, when it left the solar system. At the moment, the device is located at a distance of 20.5 billion kilometers from the Earth. It uses four scient…

Инженеры NASA отключили один из научных инструментов аппарата «Вояджер-2». Это было сделано из-за того, что заряд батареи аппарата, который исследует межзвездное пространство, постепенно снижается, сообщает Space.com. «Вояджер-2» запустили в космос 20 августа 1977, 5 ноября 2018 года он покинул пределы Солнечной системы. Сейчас аппарат находится на расстоянии 20,5 миллиарда километров от Земли. Он использует четыре научных инструмента для изучен…
