NASA's Voyager 1 probe swaps thrusters in tricky fix
NASA's Voyager 1 probe swaps thrusters in tricky fix as it flies through interstellar space
NASA's most distant spacecraft had a critical thruster problem far from home. Fixing it required a long-distance call to overcome extreme cold and dwindling power.
NASA coaxes Voyager 1's thrusters back to life
After almost five decades sailing through space, NASA is trying to squeeze a few more years out of the venerable Voyager 1 deep space probe by swapping a wonky thruster system for a disused secondary one to ensure the craft can keep its radio antenna pointing at the Earth.
Voyager 1 team accomplishes tricky thruster swap
Engineers working on NASA's Voyager 1 probe have successfully mitigated an issue with the spacecraft's thrusters, which keep the distant explorer pointed at Earth so that it can receive commands, send engineering data,
Voyager 1 team accomplishes tricky thruster swap from 15 billion miles away
NASA's Voyager 1 faces age-related thruster issues due to clogging. Engineers switch to backup thrusters to keep Voyager operational.
