NASA Restores Communications with Voyager 1, Ending 2023 Power Glitch
After a communication failure caused by a power glitch in October, NASA has restored contact with Voyager 1. The spacecraft, now 15.4 billion miles away, continues to transmit data from its remaining instruments. The probe's systems were affected by energy limitations, but the problem was resolved in November, allowing its scientific mission to con...

NASA Engineers Restore Voyager 1 Communications After 15 Billion-Mile Transmission Disruption
NASA successfully reconnected with Voyager 1 after an unexpected communication disruption caused by a shutdown of the spacecraft’s primary transmitter. Engineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in California pinpointed the cause as Voyager’s fault protection system, which manages power by shutting down non-essential systems. With a second...

NASA Voyager 2 Shuts Down Plasma Science Instrument to Conserve Power
NASA engineers have powered down the plasma science instrument on Voyager 2 to conserve energy. Launched in 1977, the spacecraft is now 12.8 billion miles from Earth. With power decreasing yearly, NASA aims to keep at least one instrument functional into the 2030s. The plasma science instrument, which helped confirm Voyager 2's crossing into inters...

Voyager 1's Thruster Swap Ensures Continued Operation of Aging Spacecraft in Interstellar Space
Voyager 1, NASA's most distant spacecraft, recently underwent a crucial thruster adjustment to maintain its orientation and data transmission capabilities. The 47-year-old spacecraft faced challenges due to ageing components and power limitations, requiring careful engineering solutions. Despite these issues, Voyager 1 continues to send valuable da...

NASA’s Artemis I on Its Trajectory to Moon After Launching Successfully in Third Attempt
NASA's Artemis I was on course Wednesday for a crewless voyage around the moon and back hours after blasting off from Florida on its debut flight, half a century after the final lunar mission of the Apollo era. The 32-story-tall Space Launch System (SLS) rocket lifted off from NASA's Kennedy Space Center at 1:47am EST (12:17pm IST), piercing the bl...

NASA DART Spacecraft Successfully Slams Into Asteroid Dimorphos in First Planetary Defence Test
NASA on Monday successfully crashed into an asteroid in the world's first test of a planetary defense system, as the US space agency continues to work on technology to prevent potential meteorite collisions with Earth, that could threaten life on the planet. The DART spacecraft was launched by a SpaceX rocket in November 2021, and made most of its ...

Data Glitch on Voyager 1 Resolved, Team to Continue Search for Root Cause of the Problem
As the issue came to light, NASA engineers went ahead and tried to diagnose it. And, after a thorough investigation, the team found that the AACS was sending the telemetry data through a computer onboard the spacecraft. This computer had stopped working years ago and was corrupting the data delivered by AACS.
