Historic probes launched in the 1970s. Voyager 2 was launched into space in 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida with the mission of exploring the outer solar system.Its twin probe, Voyager 1 ...

NASA has successfully “reestablished full communications” with Voyager 2, an interstellar deep space probe which the agency sent offline with a faulty command two weeks ago.

NASA Reaches Voyager 2 With a Last-Ditch ‘Shout’ Across the Void After an erroneous command sent the spacecraft’s antenna askew, mission specialists hatched a plan to point it back toward Earth.

Although this provided Voyager 1 and 2 with about 470 W at 30 volts when they launched in 1977, the plutonium’s 87.74-year half-life means they have annually lost roughly 0.79-percent their power.

NASA has turned off one of Voyager 2's science instruments as power conservation becomes crucial for the interstellar exploring spacecraft located 12.8 billion miles from home.

NASA has finally turned off one of Voyager 2’s science instruments. Now, there’s no need to worry, as Voyager 2 isn’t shutting down anytime soon. However, since the probe has been barreling ...

Voyager 2 is the only craft to visit Uranus. Its findings may have misled us for 40 years. “The spacecraft saw Uranus in conditions that only occur about 4% of the time," according to the lead ...

Voyager 2’s data showed that Uranus’ magnetosphere was home to unexpectedly powerful electron radiation belts. Their intensity was similar to the massive bands of radiation found around Jupiter.
