NASA engineers have completed a promising round of tech support on the Voyager 1 space probe, correcting an issue with one of its computers and moving it closer to being ready to transmit science ...
Engineers finally received a status update from the most distant spacecraft from Earth, after identifying the cause of the aging probe’s five-month communication issue.
Voyager 1 and the other probes that are in or on their way to interstellar space, except New Horizons. Voyager 1 transmitted audio signals generated by plasma waves from interstellar space. On September 12, 2013, NASA officially confirmed that Voyager 1 had reached the interstellar medium in August 2012 as previously observed. The generally ...
The Voyager program is an American scientific program that employs two interstellar probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. They were launched in 1977 to take advantage of a favorable planetary alignment to explore the two gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and potentially also the ice giants, Uranus and Neptune - to fly near them while collecting data for ...
Voyager 1 was designed and built in the early 1970s. Documentation could be lost or misplaced, making it difficult to troubleshoot glitches onboard. NASA fixed a glitch on Voyager 1 after ...
The probe is expected to keep transmitting weak radio messages until at least the mid-2020s, more than 48 years after it was launched. [87] NASA says that "The Voyagers are destined—perhaps eternally—to wander the Milky Way." [93] Voyager 2 is not headed toward any particular star. The nearest star is 4.2 light-years away, and at 15.341 km ...
The spacecraft launched in 1977 and is now 15 billion miles from Earth. It went silent in November. Scientists at JPL figured out how to get it talking again.
Wireless telegraphy or radiotelegraphy is the transmission of text messages by radio waves, analogous to electrical telegraphy using cables. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] Before about 1910, the term wireless telegraphy was also used for other experimental technologies for transmitting telegraph signals without wires.
