This development signals a potential path to recovery for the iconic spacecraft, enabling it to continue its exploration of interstellar space.
Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 initially explored Jupiter and Saturn before venturing beyond the solar system. Alongside its twin, Voyager 2, these probes hold the record for the longest-operating space probes. Their current mission involves studying distant solar particles and cosmic rays. Notably, the probes have been monitoring changes in the sun’s magnetic field and the density of plasma beyond the solar system, providing valuable insights into the outer reaches of the sun’s influence.
