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

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have been traveling through space, revealing the secrets of the solar system, for the last 42 years. In all that time, they've beamed back tons of data ...

Voyager 2’s priceless data is captured and returned to Earth through its five science instruments, while Voyager 1 still has four operational instruments after one failed earlier in the mission.

So when Voyager 2 phoned home on November 5 to say that it is venturing out of our backyard and into the interstellar space, it was Kaczmarek and her colleagues who were the first ones to receive it.

This radioisotopic power system loses around 4 watts of power from Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 each year. In the 1980s, several instruments aboard both spacecraft were turned off.

NASA has turned off one of Voyager 2's science instruments as power conservation becomes crucial for the interstellar exploring spacecraft located 12.8 billion miles from home.

Voyager 2 and its twin, Voyager 1, launched a few weeks apart in 1977 to perform an unprecedented "grand tour" of the solar system's giant planets — Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

Voyager 2 is over 11.2 billion miles from Earth, but it’s traveling at 34,391 miles per hour — that’s 10 miles per second — so that distance is increasing at a rapid rate.

Voyager 2 is the main priority for receiving new plans because it’s collecting more data with an instrument that isn’t working on Voyager 1. It’s also using more power, so engineers turned ...
