The Voyager 1 spacecraft is functioning normally again after the aging probe’s dwindling power supply triggered a ...

NASA has confirmed that one of its greatest ever missions, Voyager 1, is back in business with communications restored ...

NASA engineers solve thruster issues on Voyager 1, enabling continued space exploration beyond 15 billion miles.

A mateur astronomers in Dwingeloo in the northeastern Netherlands have picked up a signal from NASA's ailing Voyager 1 spacecraft, around 24.9 billion kilometers (15.5 billion miles) away.

including firing up old thrusters to keep Voyager 1’s antenna pointed at Earth and coming up with a solution for a computer glitch that silenced the probe’s stream of science data to Earth for ...

the clogging of Voyager 1’s thrusters has been particularly concerning. These thrusters are vital for keeping the spacecraft’s High Gain Antenna pointed toward Earth, ensuring that it can receive ...

and are blasted across space from the DSN’s 70-meter dish antennas using 18 kW of power. The uplink path loss over the current 23 billion kilometer distance to Voyager 1 exceeds 200 dB ...

Just a day later, the fault protection system triggered twice more, shutting down the X-band antenna entirely. Voyager 1 fell ...
