Unfortunately, they were not able to stretch the reserve power as far as anticipated.

NASA turned off a suite of instruments on Voyager 2 and its twin Voyager 1 after they explored the gas giant planets in the 1980s. Both are currently in interstellar space, or the space between stars.

But turning off a piece of equipment on Voyager 2 or Voyager 1 — an identical spacecraft launched 16 days after its twin — is not ideal, NASA noted. “Mission engineers have taken steps to ...

Power conservation is crucial for interstellar exploring spacecraft, which is 12.8 billion miles from home. NASA engineers have turned off one of Voyager 2's science instruments due to dwindling ...
