A lone spacecraft's visit to Uranus may have left us with the complete wrong impression of the ice giant for nearly 40 years. The strange, sideways-rotating planet – the third largest in our solar ...

Nearly two weeks after NASA lost contact with one of its Voyager probes, the space agency said it has detected a faint signal from the historic spacecraft launched in the 1970s to explore the far ...

Traveling through interstellar space for 42 years was bound to take a toll. NASA’s Voyager 2 was designed to withstand one of the longest journeys in deep space — but that doesn't mean it is all ...

After sending a “series of planned commands” to Voyager 2, which is currently soaring through interstellar space some 12.3 billion miles away, the agency realized that it had told the vintage ...

Voyager 2 is taking the measure of its exotic surroundings once again. On Jan. 25, the venerable probe, which has been exploring interstellar space since November 2018, failed to execute a spin ...

NASA launched the twin Voyager probes in 1977 on a mission to study the outer solar system and beyond. Now, almost 50 years later, both spacecraft are still going strong. Well, Voyager 2 was doing ...

NASA has turned off one of Voyager 2's science instruments as power conservation becomes crucial for the interstellar exploring spacecraft located 12.8 billion miles from home. When you purchase ...

After 46 years of hurdling through space like a man-made bat out of hell, you'd almost be inclined to believe the Voyager space probes will simply continue running trouble-free indefinitely until it ...

Plenty can go wrong when you're floating through interstellar space, billions of miles from Earth, running on a radioisotope thermoelectric generator and coming up on 43 years since the last time ...

They thought it was gonna be a long, long time. NASA has successfully “reestablished full communications” with Voyager 2, an interstellar deep space probe which the agency sent offline with a faulty ...

The Voyager 2 spacecraft may be out of touch with NASA until mid-October thanks to a slight mishap, but NASA engineers got some good news this afternoon in the form of a carrier signal from the ...

After weeks of giving Earth the silent treatment, NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft is once again communicating with mission control from billions of miles away. All it took was for the ground team to send ...
