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 ...
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 ...
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.
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 ...
For example, though Voyager 1 is still contactable en-route to the Oort Cloud and has exited the Solar System, it is listed as "mission complete" because its primary task of studying Jupiter and Saturn has been accomplished. Once a probe has reached its first primary target, it is no longer listed as "en route" whether or not further travel is ...
Voyager 1 and the other probes that are in or on their way to interstellar space, except New Horizons. Voyager 1 transmitted audio signals generated by plasma waves from interstellar space. On September 12, 2013, NASA officially confirmed that Voyager 1 had reached the interstellar medium in August 2012 as previously observed. The generally ...
The problem with Voyager 1 was first detected in November.At the time, NASA said it was still in contact with the spacecraft and could see that it was receiving signals from Earth.
The 1986 Poetica Vaginal signal, briefly transmitted from the MIT Millstone Radar, was an techno-art project created by Joe Davis who was concerned about government censorship of messages such as the removal of genitalia on the Voyager probe record.
