The Voyager 1 probe is the most distant human-made object in existence. After a major effort to restore communication with it, NASA announced success this week.

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

Still, they'd like to know exactly what's going inside Voyager 1. "So we're cautiously optimistic, but we still have more investigating to do," Dodd said in the statement.

In 2012, Voyager 1 ventured beyond the solar system, becoming the first human-made object to enter interstellar space, or the space between stars. Voyager 2 followed suit in 2018.

Voyager 1, along with its sister craft, Voyager 2, are robotic probes that were launched in 1977. Voyager 1 reached interstellar space in 2012. It's now 15.1 billion miles away, the farthest from ...

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 ...

Engineers have mitigated an issue with Voyager 1’s thrusters, ... Earlier this year, engineers spotted an issue when the fuel tube inside one of Voyager’s thrusters became clogged.

Voyager 1 is one half of the Voyager mission. It has a twin spacecraft, Voyager 2. Launched in 1977, they were primarily built for a four-year trip to Jupiter and Saturn , expanding on earlier ...

However, NASA must carefully manage Voyager 1 as the probe ages and slowly breaks down 15 billion miles away from the closest person. The most pressing dilemma is a rubber diaphragm deteriorating ...

(CNN) — Engineers at NASA have successfully fired up a set of thrusters Voyager 1 hasn’t used in decades to solve an issue that could keep the 47-year-old spacecraft from communicating with ...
