Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts, launched about 50 years ago, are still traveling in interstellar space with incredible success. However, the difficulties encountered during these long term of office are inevitable. NASA, in a recent statement, despite the diminishing power supplies Voyager’s task as much as possible to extend some of the features that have disabled.

NASA’s Jet Fidelity Laboratory (JPL) closed the Voyager 1’s cosmic radiation subsystem experiment on February 25th. On March 25, the low -energy loaded particle device of Voyager 2 will be closed. Suzanne Dodd, JPL’s Voyager Project Manager, said, “Voyagers have been the real stars of deep space since the day they were launching. We want to continue this success as long as possible. However, we are running out of electric power. If we don’t turn off some devices, we may have to explain that the tasks are over, and this can happen in just a few months. ”

Currently, both spacecraft continues to work with three scientific devices. However, in total, seven devices have been disabled

Nevertheless, Voyager is still involved in NASA and space research. VoY In the JPL, the Voyager project scientist Linda Spilker said, “Voyages are discovering areas where no spacecraft have gone before. This means that every day can be their last day. However, at the same time, a new inter -stars can be revealed every day, ”he emphasizes the importance of Voyages. The NASA team is determined to do their best to keep Voyager 1 and 2 traces for humanity for the longest possible period.
