NASA’s Voyager 1 Conserves Power, Resolves Brief Communications Pause - NASA Science

NASA's Voyager 1 gives mission control another moment of panic

The aging spacecraft is flying beyond the solar system. NASA's farthest spacecraft gave mission control a scare when it inexplicably went silent and missed two days of planned check-ins. The nail-biting incident happened just two weeks ago, when the Deep Space Network didn't receive a call from Voyager 1 on either Oct. 18 or 19. …

Voyager-1 breathes in interstellar space, Nasa pulls off another life-saving miracle

Nasa engineers replaced three power-hungry devices aboard Voyager 1 and restored contact after a 48-hour silence. The intervention could preserve its remaining instruments as it approaches the one-light-day milestone.

NASA’s Voyager 1 Conserves Power, Resolves Brief Communications Pause - NASA Science

NASA’s Voyager team is celebrating two recent developments with the Voyager 1 spacecraft: In September, they successfully completed a months-long effort to

Voyager-1 Power-Saving Operation Extends Lifespan

Nasa engineers have successfully implemented a significant power-saving operation on Voyager 1, humanity’s farthest spacecraft, which has been in space for nearly 49 years. This initiative allows the spacecraft to continue its exploration of the remote regions beyond the Sun’s influence longer than previously anticipated. The operation, informally referred to as the ‘Big Bang’, was […]
