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.
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'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.
Voyagers facing power crunch, NASA shuts key instruments from 15 billion miles away
NASA recently shut down Voyager 1's cosmic ray subsystem and Voyager 2's low-energy charged particle will also be deactivated soon.
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.
