NASA’s twin Voyager spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, embarked on a historic journey to explore the outer planets of our ...

As Voyager 2 crosses into the mysterious boundary of interstellar space, it has encountered something scientists are calling ...

NASA scientists are able to fire up a set of thrusters on Voyager 1 for the first time since 1980, allowing the spacecraft to orient itself in interstellar space, 13 billion miles from Earth.

Voyager 1 is currently about 15 billion miles away, and at 46 years old, the probe has shown multiple quirks and signs of aging in recent years. 24/7 Live Houston Southwest Southeast Northwest ...

Given Voyager 1’s immense distance from Earth, it takes a radio signal about 22.5 hours to reach the probe, and another 22.5 hours for a response signal from the spacecraft to reach Earth.

Voyager 1 and 2, meanwhile, are always on the verge of a more lasting breakdown. Even if all of their systems perform optimally going forward, the spacecrafts are still not expected to survive ...

Voyager 1 had not used the S-band to communicate with Earth since 1981. Engineers with the Deep Space Network were ultimately able to detect the spacecraft’s communication from the S-band.

Voyager 1 is now so far from Earth that commands take more than 17 hours to reach it. But it will be a little while before the spacecraft will encounter any more planets.

Voyager 1 gave NASA a scare last month when the space agency lost track of it for a few days, only to find it again on a different radio frequency when the probe switched to a radio it hadn't used ...

Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, have outlasted many of those who designed and built them. So to try to fix Voyager 1's current woes, the dozen or so people on Dodd's team have had to pore over ...

"Voyager 1 crossed this boundary in 2012; Voyager 2 crossed it in 2018 — and, since that time, were the first spacecraft ever to make direct measurements of the interstellar medium." ...
