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 powers down two Voyager science instruments to extend mission life
Mission engineers at NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California turned off the cosmic ray subsystem experiment aboard Voyager 1 on Feb. 25 and will shut off Voyager 2's low-energy charged particle instrument on March 24.
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,
