NASA’s twin Voyager spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, embarked on a historic journey to explore the outer planets of our ...

Voyager 2's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years, according to a new study. advertisement.

In 1986, Voyager 2 took this image of Uranus during its flyby. NASA / JPL-Caltech. In 1986, when NASA’s Voyager 2 flew by the mysterious Uranus, it gave scientists their first close-up peek into ...

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.

NASA sent a radio signal to Voyager 2, located billions of miles away in interstellar space, and restored communications with the spacecraft after an errant command caused a blackout.

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's Jet Propulsion Laboratory reconnected with the Voyager 2 space probe after losing it. The space agency lost contact on July 21 after accidentally sending a wrong command. The team was able ...

ASA launched Voyager 2 aboard the Titan IIIE-Centaur way back in 1977. It was the first of two probes designed to examine the outer planets. Voyager 1,essentially its twin, launched a few weeks later.

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.

Engineers work on NASA’s Voyager 2 at JPL in March 1977, ahead of the spacecraft’s launch that August. The probe carries 10 science instruments, some of which have been turned off over the ...

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.

Voyager 2 has been hurtling through space since its launch in 1977 to explore the outer solar system. IE 11 is not supported. For an optimal experience visit our site on another browser.
