Voyager 1, Earth’s farthest spacecraft, has been on an extraordinary journey for over 45 years, exploring uncharted ...

The Voyager probes were the first spacecraft to go interstellar and after almost 50 years in space, they are pretty amazing.

Voyager 1 is one half of the Voyager mission. It has a twin spacecraft, Voyager 2. Launched in 1977, they were primarily built for a four-year trip to Jupiter and Saturn , expanding on earlier ...

Voyager 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 had hoped Voyager 1's extended mission would allow the spacecraft to beam back valuable data through 2025. But a communication breakdown in November put that goal in peril.

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.

In mid-November, Voyager 1 suffered a glitch, and it's messages stopped making sense. But the NASA probe is once again sending messages to Earth that make sense. We recently shared news of some ...

Voyager 1 and its twin send back science data continuously through the Deep Space Network, a system of radio antennae on Earth, with about six to eight hours of the probes’ detections returning ...

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, ...

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.

NASA launched two 12-inch gold-plated copper disks filled with the sounds of children's laughter, heartbeats, and bird calls.

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.
