NASA's Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Engineering Updates to Earth
The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between stars). Voyager 1 stopped sending readable science and engineering data back to Earth on Nov. 14, 2023, even though mission controllers could tell the spacecraft was still receiving their commands and otherwise operating normally.

Voyager 1 Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments
Two other instruments required some additional work, but now, all four are returning usable science data. The four instruments study plasma waves, magnetic fields, and particles. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are the only spacecraft to directly sample interstellar space, which is the region outside the heliosphere — the protective bubble of ...
NASA wants the Voyagers to age gracefully, so it's time for a software
NASA/JPL-Caltech. 263. Forty-six years in deep space have taken their toll on NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft. Their antiquated computers sometimes do puzzling things, their thrusters are wearing ...
NASA Mission Update: Voyager 2 Communications Pause
Once the spacecraft's antenna is realigned with Earth, communications should resume. UPDATE, Aug. 4, 2023: NASA has reestablished full communications with Voyager 2. The agency's Deep Space Network facility in Canberra, Australia, sent the equivalent of an interstellar "shout" more than 12.3 billion miles (19.9 billion kilometers) to Voyager 2, instructing the spacecraft to reorient ...
Voyager 1
Voyager 1 has been exploring our solar system since 1977. The probe is now in interstellar space, the region outside the heliopause, or the bubble of energetic particles and magnetic fields from the Sun. Voyager 1 was launched after Voyager 2, but because of a faster route it exited the asteroid belt earlier than its twin, and it overtook Voyager 2 on Dec. 15, 1977.
Voyager
Voyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2 are the only spacecraft ever to operate outside the heliosphere, the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields generated by the Sun. Voyager 1 reached the interstellar boundary in 2012, while Voyager 2 (traveling slower and in a different direction than its twin) reached it in 2018. Mission Type.
Voyager 2: Nasa fully back in contact with lost space probe
Voyager 2 has restored its communication with Earth months earlier than expected. ... Suni Williams and Barry 'Butch' Wilmore gave an update from the ISS on their extended stay in space. 13 Sep 2024.
Voyager 1 survives clogged thruster issue billions of miles away
CNN —. Engineers at NASA have successfully fired up a set of thrusters Voyager 1 hasn't used in decades to solve an issue that could keep the 47-year-old spacecraft from communicating with ...
Voyager 1, After Major Malfunction, Is Back From the Brink, NASA Says
NASA has previously estimated that the nuclear-powered generators on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were likely to die around 2025. But Voyager 1 has already demonstrated that it can beat the odds. Ms ...

NASA's Voyager Team Focuses on Software Patch, Thrusters
The thrusters are used to keep each spacecraft's antenna pointed at Earth. This type of buildup has been observed in a handful of other spacecraft. The team is also uploading a software patch to prevent the recurrence of a glitch that arose on Voyager 1 last year. Engineers resolved the glitch, and the patch is intended to prevent the issue ...

Voyager 1 Returning Science Data From All Four Instruments
The spacecraft has resumed gathering information about interstellar space. NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is conducting normal science operations for the first time following a technical issue that arose in November 2023. The team partially resolved the issue in April when they prompted the spacecraft to begin returning engineering data, which includes information about the health […]

NASA's Voyager Team Focuses on Software Patch, Thrusters
The thrusters on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are primarily used to keep the spacecraft antennas pointed at Earth in order to communicate. Spacecraft can rotate in three directions - up and down, to the left and right, and around the central axis, like a wheel. As they do this, the thrusters automatically fire and reorient the spacecraft to keep their antennas pointed at Earth.
