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

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.

As humanity’s first emissaries into the vast reaches of interstellar space, the Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Pioneer probes have ...

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

Given Voyager 1's immense distance from Earth, it takes a radio signal about 22.5 hours to reach the probe, and another 22.5 hours for a response signal from the spacecraft to reach Earth.

Voyager 1 could keep beaming data home for a while, provided nothing too important breaks down. The spacecraft's declining power supply won't force engineers to shut off the first instrument until ...

The Voyager 1 probe, the first human-made object to reach the space between stars, has suffered a serious problem that NASA experts are struggling to understand and repair.

Unfortunately, what the Voyager 1 team learned through this secondary communication method was a bit concerning. For some reason, the command sent to Voyager 1 triggered its fault protection system.

Voyager 1 has lived long because, although its technology is aging, it still stands in resilience to show forth NASA’s prescience and inventiveness. The recent communication difficulties only amplify ...

Voyager 1 has measured cosmic rays and other signs indicating that it may have passed into interstellar space, it still hasn't detected the predicted magnetic field change, Gloeckler pointed out.

Given Voyager 1’s immense distance from Earth, it takes a radio signal about 22.5 hours to reach the probe, and another 22.5 hours for a response signal from the spacecraft to reach Earth.
