As of 2018, New Horizons is traveling at about 14 km/s (8.7 mi/s), 3 km/s (1.9 mi/s) slower than Voyager 1, and New Horizons, being closer to the sun, is slowing more rapidly. [118] Voyager 1 is expected to reach the theorized Oort cloud in about 300 years [119] [120] and take about 30,000 years to pass through it.
Area code 209 was created in an area code split of area code 415 on October 26, 1957. On November 14, 1998, the southern half of this numbering plan area received the assignment of area code 559. On October 24, 2021, 209 was transitioned to 1+10-digit dialing despite not being part of an overlay complex at that time.
NASA’s 46-year-old Voyager 1 spacecraft has experienced a computer glitch that prevents it from returning science data to Earth from the solar system’s outer reaches.
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]
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is functioning normally again after the aging probe’s dwindling power supply triggered a communications blackout. It’s one of several challenges faced by the ...
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 is sending data ...
The Canadian port of entry was permanently closed on April 1, 2011. For three years, this was a one-way crossing, with travelers able to enter the U.S. but not Canada at this location. Finally, the U.S. port of entry closed August 21, 2014. Both the US and Canada border stations have since been demolished.
