A Titan/Centaur-6 launch vehicle carries NASA's Voyager 1 at the Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 5, 1977. (NASA) The team eventually determined that the issue stemmed from one of the spacecraft’s ...
Now, all four instruments are beaming back usable science data, according to an update shared by NASA on June 13. A long-distance fix. Voyager 1’s flight data system is responsible for ...
After days of silence, NASA has heard from Voyager 2 in interstellar space billions of miles away. Flight controllers accidentally sent a wrong command nearly two weeks ago that tilted the ...
Voyager 1’s flight data system collects information from the spacecraft’s science instruments and bundles it with engineering data that reflects the current health status of Voyager 1.
In June 2012, Scientists at NASA reported that Voyager 1 was very close to entering interstellar space, indicated by a sharp rise in high-energy particles from outside the Solar System. [28] [29] In September 2013, NASA announced that Voyager 1 had crossed the heliopause on 25 August 2012, making it the first spacecraft to enter interstellar space.
Voyager 1 and its twin send back science data continuously through the Deep Space Network, a system of radio antennae on Earth, with about six to eight hours of the probes’ detections returning ...
Voyager 2 is a space probe launched by NASA on August 20, 1977, as a part of the Voyager program. It was launched on a trajectory towards the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and enabled further encounters with the ice giants Uranus and Neptune .
In August 1977, Voyager 2 launched from Cape Canaveral Space Force Station to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune during a rare 175-year planetary alignment. [4] The following month, Voyager 1 was launched from the same location. In March 1979, Voyager 1 approached Jupiter and followed 4 months later with Voyager 2's flyby.
