NASA has restored full communications with its Voyager 2 spacecraft following weeks of silence. The agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory said Friday that NASA's Deep Space Network facility in ...

Voyager 1, at a distance of 24 billion km from Earth, and Voyager 2 have both left the Solar System, exploring the barren but scientifically interesting interstellar medium.

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.

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

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.

Voyager 2, which is nearly 46 years into its mission, is roughly 12.4 billion miles from Earth. In 2018, the spacecraft left the heliosphere, ...

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.

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.

The Voyager 2 spacecraft’s energy budget keeps dropping by about 4 Watt/year, as the plutonium in its nuclear power source is steadily dropping as the isotope decays. With 4 Watt of power les… ...

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.

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 ...
