Ongoing investigations, NASA says, include examining the sun's magnetic field, the energy of the solar wind emanating from our sun and radio emissions in interstellar space. Related: After 45 years, the 5-billion-year legacy of the Voyager 2 interstellar probe is just beginning The Voyagers...
According to NASA in 2013, there is conclusive evidence that the probe has been traveling interstellar space for about one year. It discusses plasma gas particles in the solar system, plasma particles in the interstellar space and heliopause.Knapp...
NASA lost contact with Voyager 1 in November 2023 after the spacecraft stopped transmitting readable data. Although the incoming information was corrupted, the agency said the probe was still able to receive commands from mission control and was otherwise operating normally. V...
Recognizing that the Voyagers would eventually fly to interstellar space, NASA authorized the production of twoGolden Recordsto be placed on board the spacecraft. Sounds ranging from whale calls to the music of Chuck Berry were placed on board, as well as spoken greetings in 55 languages. NASA'...

NASA's Voyager 1 deep space probe may get a new lease on life thanks to an unexpected download from one of its onboard computers. After months of sending back gibberish instead of collected data, the craft may have provided a clue to its salvation. ...
NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA'sVoyager 2spacecraft launched way back in 1977 when bell bottoms and disco were in style. All these decades later, the probe appears to be nearing a massive milestone: an entry into interstellar space. Voyager 2 has been traveling through the heliosheath, the outermost ...
NASA’s Voyager 2 probe, currently on a journey toward interstellar space, has detected an increase in cosmic rays that originate outside our solar system. Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 is a little less than 11 billion miles (about 17.7 billion kilometers) from Earth, or more than 118 times...
Voyager 1 became the first space probe to enter interstellar space when it crossed theheliopause, the outer limit of the Sun’s magnetic field andsolar wind. Voyager 2 crossed the heliopause on November 5, 2018. The Voyagers were expected to remain operable through 2030. Each craft carried a...
