The Voyager Golden Records are two identical phonograph records which were included aboard the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. [1] The records contain sounds and data to reconstruct raster scan images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form who may find them.

Voyager 1 is back online and operating normally after a weekslong communication blackout prevented engineers from receiving its science data. The issue resulted from the spacecraft’s dwindling ...
Three of the probes, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and New Horizons, are still functioning and are regularly contacted by radio communication, while Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 are now derelict. In addition to these spacecraft, some upper stages and de-spin weights are leaving the Solar System, assuming they continue on their trajectories.
Voyager’s thrusters keep the spacecraft oriented in a way that it can communicate with Earth. If Voyager 1 isn’t positioned in such a way so that its antenna is pointed at Earth, the ...
For the first time in five months, NASA engineers have received decipherable data from Voyager 1 after crafting a creative solution to fix a communication problem aboard humanity’s most distant ...
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.
A creative fix by the Voyager mission team restored communication with the spacecraft, and engineering data began streaming back to mission control in April, informing the team of the spacecraft ...
