Voyager spacecrafts go beyond the solar system and garner several intriguing insights about the uncharted territory.
And half of the 50 years, NASA Voyager 1 has spent billions of miles traveling into interstellar space. In October, it went ...
Voyager 1 has been traveling through space since 1977, and some scientists hoped it could keep sending back science data for 50 years. But a serious glitch has put that milestone in jeopardy.
Both Voyager probes have outlived their original missions and are exploring interstellar space more than 45 years after launch. The mission team has made clever decisions to manage the power ...
Voyager 2 remains the only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune, but astronomers followed up on its observations using telescopes — especially the Keck telescope and the Hubble Space Telescope.
Forty-five years ago, on Aug. 20, 1977, NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft launched from Cape Canaveral, Florida, on a Titan III-Centaur rocket, embarking on a "grand tour" of the solar system that would ...
Voyager 1 is one half of the Voyager mission. It has a twin spacecraft, Voyager 2. Launched in 1977, they were primarily built for a four-year trip to Jupiter and Saturn , expanding on earlier ...
NASA gave Voyager 1 a 'poke' amid communication woes. Here's why the response was encouraging. The Voyager 1's mission was extended to 2025. But a communication breakdown in November put it in peril.
The Voyager mission has been gathering groundbreaking data and photos since the beginning. The first time Cummings saw Jupiter's moon Io in 1979, for example, he thought it was a joke.
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.
In a remarkable breakthrough, NASA's Voyager spacecraft has ventured beyond the Solar System to reveal a fascinating phenomenon: a searing "wall" of high temperature located outside our cosmic ...
