NASA finds clue while solving Voyager 1’s communication breakdown case

NASA engineers are a step closer to solving the communication problem that left the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which presently sits outside the solar system, unable to send usable data back to Earth. In 2012, Voyager 1 became the first human-made object to leave the solar system and enter interstellar space. For 11 years following this […]

NASA Concerned as Voyager 1 Sending Back Incomprehensible Code

Senile Probe NASA’s two Voyager spacecraft have spent almost half a century traveling through distant space. The probes, which launched less than a month apart in the summer of 1977, have survived a lot, from dwindling power supplies and grimy thrusters to near-fatal software glitches. Voyager 1, in particular, which is currently floating past the generally-defined edge of the […]

‘Voyager 2 is still going strong’

It has been several months since one of humanity’s most accomplished spacecraft, the Voyager 1 probe, stopped talking to us — and though they remain somewhat hopeful, Voyager mission scientists are preparing for the worst: A goodbye. “Sad and frustrated to have the spacecraft still working, but muted,” Bruce Waggoner, the Voyager mission assurance manager, […]
