Voyager 1, Earth’s farthest spacecraft, has been on an extraordinary journey for over 45 years, exploring uncharted ...

Voyager 1, NASA's most distant spacecraft, has been traveling across the cosmos for nearly 50 years. But recently, it has ...

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 ...

In mid-November, Voyager 1 suffered a glitch, and it's messages stopped making sense. But the NASA probe is once again sending messages to Earth that make sense. We recently shared news of some ...

Voyager 1 – and its sibling, Voyager 2 – were always meant to be a testament to humanity’s ingenuity. When they left Earth in the summer of 1977, they did so carrying a record that was ...

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.

NASA had hoped Voyager 1's extended mission would allow the spacecraft to beam back valuable data through 2025. But a communication breakdown in November put that goal in peril.

After many months of extremely long-distance repairs, NASA’s Voyager 1 space probe is fully operational once again. “The spacecraft has resumed gathering information about interstellar space ...

Voyager 1 and its twin send back science data continuously through the Deep Space Network, a system of radio antennae on Earth, with about six to eight hours of the probes’ detections returning ...

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 used the thrusters for a variety of purposes as it flew by planets such as Jupiter and Saturn in 1979 and 1980, respectively. Now, ...

NASA and Voyager 1 resumed communications and operations after a fault protection system switched the interstellar spacecraft's mode of communication to one using less power.
