Launched in 1977, the Voyager probes embarked on a journey unlike any in human history. Over four decades later, they ...

Linda Spilker, the Voyager mission’s project scientist, spoke to Gizmodo about the challenges that come with operating the ...

But over time, the probes’ power supply has gradually diminished. The Voyager spacecraft rely on electricity generated from the heat of decaying plutonium, and both are losing an estimated 4 ...

Since Voyager 1 blasted off in 1977, it has skirted past the kaleidoscopic clouds of Jupiter and the icy rings of Saturn. The spacecraft is now 124 times farther from the Sun than we are ...

However, no missions capture the power of RTGs quite like the Voyager missions. NASA launched the twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in 1977 to take a tour of the outer solar system and then ...

The decision comes as the Voyager spacecraft face diminishing power supplies due to the gradual decay of their radioactive plutonium. Going where no spacecraft has gone before: NASA shuts down ...

The RTGs on the Voyager probes have allowed the spacecraft to stay powered up while they collect data. Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech RTGs have been key to the success of many of NASA’s solar system ...

This approach can now be used to determine the rotation rate of any celestial object with a magnetic field and auroras — including exoplanets.

This has been the case with NASA's twin spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. In order to save power so that both objects can continue to explore space, experts have shut down the cosmic ray ...
