It says it will now work toward bringing Voyager's abilities to transmit science data back online to continue its original mission. The mission's sister probe Voyager 2, meanwhile, is still ...
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.
The spacecraft launched in 1977 and is now 15 billion miles from Earth. It went silent in November. Scientists at JPL figured out how to get it talking again.
This Voyager spacecraft was constructed by the United States of America. We are a community of 240 million human beings among the more than 4 billion who inhabit the planet Earth. We human beings are still divided into nation states, but these states are rapidly becoming a global civilization. We cast this message into the cosmos ...
The probe is expected to keep transmitting weak radio messages until at least the mid-2020s, more than 48 years after it was launched. [87] NASA says that "The Voyagers are destined—perhaps eternally—to wander the Milky Way." [93] Voyager 2 is not headed toward any particular star. The nearest star is 4.2 light-years away, and at 15.341 km ...
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.
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 ...
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, both launched in 1977, were built to last five years. They've now beamed back cosmic information for over 46 years, a feat made possible by a hardy spacecraft and a clever ...
