billion miles away, Voyager 2 is still beaming back unprecedented information about its far-off environs, where only Voyager 1 has ventured before. It's returning data about the radiation in interstellar space and how far the sun's protective bubble of energy and particles extends into the ...
The rings will only be slightly visible in the months before and after they go edge-on, Amy Simon, senior scientist at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center, said in a statement to CBS News. Those who want to see what Saturn looks like on various dates can use thePDS rings node, she sa...
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were designed to last for five years, but they havefar exceeded their design lifetimesand are still operational. Voyager 1 has become the first human-made object toenter interstellar space, and Voyager 2 has become the only spacecraft to have flown by all four giant ...
NASA’s Voyager 1 probe is experiencing a glitch that’s causing it to send a repeating, gibberish pattern of ones and zeroes back to Earth, the agencyannouncedthis week. The spacecraft is still able to receive and execute commands sent to it, but it’s unable to transmit back...
Fixing Voyager: How NASA Restored Communications with Voyager 1 from Across the Solar System After more than four and a half decades exploring our solar system and beyond, Voyager 1 has had a challenging year. In November 2023, the spacecraft suddenly an
The Pioneer missions paved the way for a second set of Jupiter-focused missions in the late 1970s, Voyager 1 and 2. Launched in 1977, the spacecraft are most famous for traversing to the outermost portion of the solar system—Voyager 1 has even passed its outer limits and has now passed...
With careful planning and dashes of creativity, engineers have been able to keep NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft flying for nearly 42 years—longer than any other spacecraft in history. To ensure that these vintage robots continue to return the best sc

Meanwhile,the Voyager 1 spacecraftcontinued its exploration of interstellar space. Since its launch in 1977, Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, have been traveling away from Earth. At a distance of14.8 billion miles from Earth(22.5 billion kilometers) and counting, Voyager 1 ...
现在,我们送往太空的物体中,距离地球最远的是“旅行者1号(Voyager 1)”探测器,其距离地球大约120亿公里,看起来很远?但实际上还不到探测器前往半人马座阿尔法B星距离的2%。 土卫六海洋探测器 土星最大的卫星土卫六“泰坦(Titan)”的表面被许多由液态甲烷构成的湖泊所覆盖,为了探测这些湖泊,2009年,NASA提议派遣...
