The farthest spacecraft from Earth are shutting off instruments in interstellar space
The Voyager probes are each turning off an instrument to avoid ending their 47-year-long missions later this year.
NASA switches off Voyager instruments to extend life of the two interstellar spacecraft 'Every day could be our last.'
NASA engineers are turning off two instruments on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to ensure these twin spacecraft can continue exploring interstellar space.
Nasa tries to give new lease of life to Voyager missions that have outlived their life-expectancy
The space agency said Wednesday that a sensor on Voyager 2 that analyses charged particles and cosmic rays would be turned off later this month. Last Monday, Nasa turned off an experiment on Voyager 1
NASA's twin Voyager probes are shutting down some instruments to conserve power
The farthest spacecraft from Earth are shutting off instruments in interstellar space, but their mission in interstellar space isn’t over yet
From interstellar dust to life beyond Earth: Why scientists can't wait for NASA's new SPHEREx space telescope
The megaphone-shaped spacecraft, called SPHEREx — short for Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer — is scheduled to share a ride atop a SpaceX Falcon 9 rocket on Tuesday (March 4) from Vandenberg Space Force Base in California.
NASA makes tough call: Shuts down Voyager instruments to keep spacecraft alive longer
NASA's Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are undergoing power-saving measures, shutting down instruments to extend their journey into interstellar space and continue sending valuable data back to Earth.
NASA is making sacrifices to keep the Voyager mission alive
It’s been 47 years since the twin Voyager spacecraft started their historic mission. Having travelled through interstellar space, farther from Earth than any other human-made objects, their nuclear batteries are depleting — but NASA is taking measures to squeeze as much life out of the aging probes as possible.
NASA is shutting down parts of Voyager 1 and 2 to extend their lifespan
Nearly 50 years after they were first launched, Voyager 1 and 2 are still traveling around interstellar space — though they've faced some setbacks over the years. Now, NASA has announced that the twin Voyager spacecraft are losing some of their features in a bid to extend their lifespans in the face of a diminishing power supply.
NASA Extends Voyager's Journey Through the Cosmos By Powering Off 2 Scientific Instruments
To help them conserve energy, mission operators at the agency's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) are shutting off one scientific instrument on Voyager 1 and another on Voyager 2. The move will buy both spacecraft a bit of extra time on their journeys through the cosmos.
The End of Voyager? NASA’s Race to Keep the Deep Space Probes Alive
For nearly five decades, the twin Voyager spacecraft have pushed the boundaries of human exploration, venturing deeper into the cosmos than any other human-made object. As their power dwindles, NASA engineers are making tough choices,
NASA powers down two instruments on twin Voyager spacecraft to save power
NASA is switching off two science instruments on its long-running twin Voyager spacecraft to save power. The space agency said Wednesday an instrument on Voyager 2 that measures charged particles and cosmic rays will shut off later this month.
