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 ...
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is sending back a steady stream of scientific data from uncharted territory for the first time since a computer glitch sidelined the historic NASA mission seven months ago ...
At age six, Sagan's greeting, "Hello from the children of planet Earth," was recorded and placed aboard NASA's Voyager Golden Record. [2] Launched with a selection of terrestrial greetings, sights, sounds and music, the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft are now the most distant man-made objects in the universe, with Voyager 1 having left the Solar System on August 25, 2012, being the first to ...
