At its current speed, experts at NASA predict Voyager 1 will take three centuries to reach the Oort cloud. To get to the other side of the cloud would take another 30,000 years. Engineers predict ...

it takes nearly 23 hours for a message to get there – even at the speed of light – and another 23 hours for a response. On October 18, Voyager 1 missed its scheduled return call. NASA's Deep ...

Voyager 1, our most advanced spacecraft, sends signals to Earth for the fifth time in five months. The accomplishment is a testament to NASA engineers’ resourcefulness and persistence. Let’s dive ...

This has been the case with NASA's twin spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. In order to save power so that both objects can continue to explore space, experts have shut down the cosmic ray ...

This was the first software update made to a spacecraft in interstellar space. Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, face declining power levels due to the decay of their plutonium-238 power supplies ...

NASA engineers are turning off two instruments to ensure that the twin spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, can continue exploring space beyond the limits of the solar system. To save energy for ...

After more than forty-six years all of us are likely to feel the wear of time, and Voyager 1 is no different. Following months of harrowing troubleshooting as the far-flung spacecraft stopped ...

Saying farewell is hard, and in the case of the Voyager 1 & 2 spacecraft doubly so, seeing as how they have been with us for more than 47 years. From the highs of the 1970s and 1980s during their ...

NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft nearly 12 billion miles from Earth is still phoning home from interstellar space, and a new NASA photo captures that radio signal as pale blue speck in a cosmic ocean.
