Voyager 2's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years, ...
Voyager 2's data on the magnetosphere surrounding Uranus has for decades left scientists perplexed. As a result, Uranus earned a decades-long reputation as an outlier in our solar system.
Originally launched in 1977, Voyager 2 has been making its way through space for over 40 years now. Of course, all that time in space means that, eventually, the probe’s power supply will give out.
Voyager 1 had not used the S-band to communicate with Earth since 1981. Engineers with the Deep Space Network were ultimately able to detect the spacecraft’s communication from the S-band.
V oyager 1 – and its sibling, Voyager 2 – were always meant to be a testament to humanity’s ingenuity. When they left Earth in the summer of 1977, they did so carrying a record that was ...

NASA’s Voyager spacecraft twins, on the other hand, have really proven themselves to be incredibly rugged. Voyager 2 , which is over 43 years old at this point, has been traveling out of our ...
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.
