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

Voyager 1, Earth’s farthest spacecraft, has been on an extraordinary journey for over 45 years, exploring uncharted territories of space and sending back incredible data from beyond our solar system.

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

Voyager 1, launched in 1977 and traveling for nearly 50 years, has not yet traveled the distance light covers in one day.

Now, Voyager 1 and, eventually, Voyager 2 will study interstellar space to learn more about the structure and evolution of the Milky Way. "In a sense, this is only the beginning," Zank said.

Forty-six years after it was first recorded, the magnetic data collected by Voyager 1 as it sailed past Jupiter, crossing its ...

Like Voyager 1, Voyager 2 is still active and operational. It took a different route through the solar system and is expected to follow its twin into interstellar space a few years from now.

NASA lost contact with the interstellar Voyager 1 spacecraft for nearly a week after a technical glitch shut off the probe's main transmitter. Using Voyager's weaker backup transmitter, engineers ...

In 1990, Voyager 1 transmitted the famous “ Pale Blue Dot ” photograph of Earth, taken when the spacecraft was 3.7 billion miles from the Sun.

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.

After that, it’s next port of call will be the star AC+79 3888, 17.6 light years away in the constellation of Camelopardalis, which Voyager 1 will pass within 1.6 light years of in 40,000 years.

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.
