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 ...
NASA and Voyager 1 resumed communications and operations after a fault protection system switched the interstellar spacecraft's mode of communication to one using less power.
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.
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 recurring problem. It’s not the first time Voyager 1 has needed to switch over to another set of thrusters in recent decades. Fortunately, the spacecraft has three sets of thrusters: two sets ...
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 is a space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977. At a distance of about 162.755 AU (2.435 × 10 10 km) as of 19 December 2024, [7] [8] it is the farthest manmade object from Earth. [9] It was later estimated that Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock on December 16, 2004 at a distance of 94 AU from the Sun. [10] [11]
