Despite its bulk and camouflaged exterior, the M1 Abrams Tank has a bright white interior and surprisingly cramped crew ...

Researchers have looked into how far away the Voyager spacecraft could go while we could still detect them, and worked out ...

But, in the end, Elio is an interstellar movie that remains earthbound. Rated PG, the film is now playing in local theaters.

So too with the 47-year old Voyager 1 spacecraft and its hydrazine thrusters. Over the decades silicon dioxide from an aging rubber diaphragm in the fuel tank has been depositing on the inside of ...

As with all aging bodies, clogged tubes form an increasing issue. So too with the 47-year old Voyager 1 spacecraft and its hydrazine thrusters. Over the decades silicon dioxide from an aging ...

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, is humanity's farthest spacecraft, providing groundbreaking data about the outer planets and interstellar space. Its signal, a faint yet powerful transmission, carries ...

Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 has officially entered interstellar space, making it the most distant human-made object ever! After 48 years of exploration, it continues to send back data from beyond ...

The most pressing dilemma is a rubber diaphragm deteriorating inside the fuel tank. NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory noticed in 2002 that the fuel tubes on a set of Voyager 1's thrusters were clogged.

NASA's most distant spacecraft had a critical thruster problem far from home. Fixing it required a long-distance call to overcome extreme cold and dwindling power.

Engineers have mitigated an issue with Voyager 1’s thrusters, enabling the mission to stay in touch with mission controllers on Earth and send back unique data.
