Voyager 1 and 2: From Earth to Interstellar Space: The Final Frontier AwaitsNASA’s twin Voyager spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, embarked on a historic journey to explore the outer planets of our ...
The milestone makes the 41-year-old NASA probe just the second human-made object, after Voyager 1, to reach such distant regions. Now, Voyager 2 is over 11 billion miles from the sun — and counting.
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 was launched in August 1977, 16 days before Voyager 1, which explored Jupiter, Saturn and Saturn's large moon Titan before heading out into the depths of the solar system.
(Voyager 2’s twin, Voyager 1, is able to communicate with the other two stations.) A round-trip communication with Voyager 2 takes about 35 hours — 17 hours and 35 minutes each way.
Voyager 2 has begun using a small backup power reserve that was part of a safety mechanism, which will enable the spacecraft to keep from shutting down another science instrument until 2026, ...
Voyager 2’s mission team was able to detect a signal from the spacecraft confirming it’s still operating as normal after an errant command caused a loss of contact. CNN values your feedback 1.
Voyager 2 launched to space on Aug. 20, 1977, to fly by the solar system’s outer planets and then explore the interstellar space that lies beyond it.
NASA says its Voyager 2 probe has become the second human-made object to fly into interstellar space — six years after its twin spacecraft, Voyager 1, became the first.
Voyager 2 is taking the measure of its exotic surroundings once again. On Jan. 25, the venerable probe, which has been exploring interstellar space since November 2018, failed to execute a spin ...
Originally launched in 1977, Voyager 2 has been making its way through space for over 40 years now. Of course, all that time in space means that, eventually, the probe’s power supply will give out.
