Now, all four instruments are beaming back usable science data, according to an update shared by NASA on June 13. A long-distance fix. Voyager 1’s flight data system is responsible for ...
In 2012, Voyager 1 ventured beyond the solar system, becoming the first human-made object to enter interstellar space, or the space between stars. Voyager 2 followed suit in 2018. Voyager 2 ...
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 ...
The lander-ascender-rover combination was separated from the orbiter and returner before landing on 1 June 2024 at 22:23 UTC. It landed on the Moon's surface on 1 June 2024. [ 41 ] [ 42 ] The ascender was launched back to lunar orbit on 3 June 2024 at 23:38 UTC, carrying samples collected by the lander, and completed rendezvous and docking with ...
This was the tenth flight for SpaceX under NASA's CRS Phase 2 and first Dragon 2 launch from SLC-40, as the pad was reconfigured and a new Crew Access Tower and Arm was added. CURTIS, KASHIWA, and MicroOrbiter-1 were deployed into orbit from ISS on 11 April 2024. [ 115 ]
In June 2012, Scientists at NASA reported that Voyager 1 was very close to entering interstellar space, indicated by a sharp rise in high-energy particles from outside the Solar System. [28] [29] In September 2013, NASA announced that Voyager 1 had crossed the heliopause on 25 August 2012, making it the first spacecraft to enter interstellar space.
A “poke” sent to the Voyager 1 probe received a response that could help NASA restore reliable communication with the aging spacecraft 15 billion miles away.
