Mission engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California turned off the cosmic ray subsystem experiment aboard Voyager 1 on Feb. 25 and will shut off Voyager 2’s low-energy charged ...

No human-made objects have traveled further into the final frontier than Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. However, both space probes are reaching the end of their service lives. NASA announced that ...

Voyager 1 and 2 continue to make history every day, as they transmit data back to Earth while traveling further into deep space. But there will come a time when amassing distance is all they are ...

Voyager 1, our most advanced spacecraft, sends signals to Earth for the fifth time in five months. The accomplishment is a testament to NASA engineers’ resourcefulness and persistence. Let’s dive ...

Voyager 2 is over 13 billion miles (21 billion kilometers) from Earth. In fact, due to this distance, it takes over 23 hours to get a radio signal from Earth to Voyager 1, and 19½ hours to Voyager 2.
