According to NASA's official website, the update was intended to prevent an issue that arose on the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which is currently 15 billion miles away from the Earth. Per NASA, in 2022 ...

Engineers for NASA's Voyager mission are taking steps to help make sure both spacecraft, launched in 1977, continue to explore interstellar space for years to come.

For weeks, a team of JPL Voyager mission engineers have been receiving gibberish from the venerable Voyager 1, 15 billion miles away from Earth. But amid the concern, promising signs have emerged.

Voyager 2, NASA's longest-running mission, explored Neptune during a historic encounter on Aug. 25, 1989, sending back humanity's first close-ups of the planet.

Both Voyager probes have outlived their original missions and are exploring interstellar space more than 45 years after launch. The mission team has made clever decisions to manage the power ...

NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft flew past the outer planets in the 1980s and sent back photos showing that Uranus and Neptune were markedly different colours.

Voyager 1 is 15 billion miles (about 24.1 billion km) from Earth, Voyager 2 is 12 billion miles (about 19.3 billion km) away, and it took 18 hours to send the patch to Voyager 2. .
