When NASA’s Voyager 1 spacecraft sailed past Jupiter in 1979, it recorded a stunning and unusual phenomenon—plasma waves as ...

The solar wind plasma goes from moving at about 400 kilometers per second (900,000 miles per hour) to being diverted and ...

As Voyager 1 pushes beyond Pluto, it reveals a shocking truth,the solar system is far vaster and more mysterious than we ever ...

Voyager 2&1 weren’t the last of their kind back in the 1970s. Back when the first Star Trek movie was being filmed in late 1970s, there was the proposal to get a real Voyager for filming.

NASA scientists are able to fire up a set of thrusters on Voyager 1 for the first time since 1980, allowing the spacecraft to orient itself in interstellar space, 13 billion miles from Earth.

Voyager 1 has been traveling through space since 1977, and some scientists hoped it could keep sending back science data for 50 years. But a serious glitch has put that milestone in jeopardy.

Given Voyager 1’s immense distance from Earth, it takes a radio signal about 22.5 hours to reach the probe, and another 22.5 hours for a response signal from the spacecraft to reach Earth.

Voyager 1 and 2, meanwhile, are always on the verge of a more lasting breakdown. Even if all of their systems perform optimally going forward, the spacecrafts are still not expected to survive ...

Voyager 1 used the thrusters for a variety of purposes as it flew by planets such as Jupiter and Saturn in 1979 and 1980, respectively. Now, ...

The Voyager 1 probe, the first human-made object to reach the space between stars, has suffered a serious problem that NASA experts are struggling to understand and repair.

NASA and Voyager 1 resumed communications and operations after a fault protection system switched the interstellar spacecraft's mode of communication to one using less power.
