As humanity’s first emissaries into the vast reaches of interstellar space, the Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Pioneer probes have ...

NASA figured it out what was going on with Voyager 1 and why it was sending weird messages to Earth. Now, it will operate ...

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

The solar wind plasma goes from moving at about 400 kilometers per second (900,000 miles per hour) to being diverted and ...

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.

NASA’s 46-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft has experienced a computer glitch that prevents it from returning science data to Earth from the solar system’s outer reaches.

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 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 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 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 needed some of those positive snacky vibes. "It'd been five months since we'd had any information," Spilker explained. So, in this room of silence besides peanut-eating-noises, ...
