Voyager 1 overtakes Pioneer 10 as the most distant spacecraft from the Sun, at 69.419 AU. Voyager 1 is moving away from the Sun at over 1 AU per year faster than Pioneer 10. 2004-12-17 Passed the termination shock at 94 AU and entered the heliosheath. 2007-02-02 Terminated plasma subsystem operations. 2007-04-11 Terminated plasma subsystem heater.
Voyager 1 relays messages to NASA’s mission control team after losing contact due to a technical issue. The aging spacecraft is relying on an old radio transmitter.
The mission team successfully commanded Voyager 1 to revert to the X-band transmitter on November 7 and began collecting science data the week of November 18, and they are actively resetting the ...
Voyager 1 was launched after Voyager 2, but along a shorter and faster trajectory that was designed to provide an optimal flyby of Saturn's moon Titan, [21] which was known to be quite large and to possess a dense atmosphere. This encounter sent Voyager 1 out of the plane of the ecliptic, ending its planetary science mission. [22]
Voyager 1’s flight data system collects information from the spacecraft’s science instruments and bundles it with engineering data that reflects its current health status.
The locations of Voyagers 1 and 2 as of 2005. This image, created by NASA, illustrates 7 articles and is informative, striking, beautiful, and impressive. It shows us the exact location of Voyagers 1 and 2 in relation to the heliopause, heliosheath, termination shock, bow shock, and heliosphere, and it's one of the best diagrams I've seen.
NASA's Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft from Earth, is sending science data again. Voyager 1's four instruments are back in business after a computer problem in November, the Jet Propulsion ...
