The space agency executes operation 'Big Bang' to save energy from one of the twin probes, with the idea of replicating the process in Voyager 1, and preventing the shutdown of its latest scientific instruments
With an ingenious fit in electrical systems, JPL engineers managed to save critical energy and extend the service life of humanity’s most distant missions. Read more
In order to avert the premature end of the Voyager-2 mission, the Nasa has carried out a far-reaching intervention on the space probe. A pragmatic measure now ensures that the dwindling energy reserves are sufficient for the time being. read more on t3n.de
In March 2020, NASA voluntarily deactivated the Australian Deep Space Station 43 antenna, the only way to communicate with Voyager 2 to 18 billion kilometres. For eleven months, the probe continued to transmit data without receiving any commands from the Earth, highlighting a critical dependence on this unique facility. More
