The 47-year-old NASA Voyager 1 fell back on a radio transmitter it hadn’t used since 1981 to ping home base after a technical ...

New insights from Voyager 2 suggest Uranus' moon Miranda may have housed a deep ocean, shaping its unique features.

Miranda eventually fell out of sync with one of the other Uranian moons, nullifying the mechanism keeping its interior warm. Researchers don't think Miranda has fully frozen over yet though, as it ...

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. NASA engineers have ...

NASA has powered down the plasma science instrument on Voyager 2, launched 47 years ago, to conserve power as it continues its journey through interstellar space, 13 billion miles from Earth.

The Sept. 26 command from NASA’s Deep Space Network to shut down the PLS took 19 hours to reach Voyager 2, and the return signal took another 19 hours to reach earth, the agency said.

Voyager 1 relays messages to NASA’s mission control team after losing contact due to a technical issue. The aging spacecraft is relying on an old radio transmitter.

The system of radio antennas on Earth helps the agency communicate with Voyager 1 and its twin probe, Voyager 2, as well as other spacecraft exploring our solar system. Voyager 1 then sends back ...
