NASA Engineers Help Prolong Voyager 2’s Science MissionNASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft, depicted in this artist’s concept, has enough power to continue operating three science instruments in interstellar space longer than anticipated thanks to some clever engineering by the mission team. NASA/JPL-CaltechEngineers at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory have successfully freed up power on Voyager 2, extending how long the spacecraft can continue to do science. Without the Big Bang activity, the mission would have had to turn off another instrument on Voyager 2 before the end of 2026. The mission team plans to perform the same swap on Voyager 1, which is farther from Earth than Voyager 2, and to complete the effort in the coming months.
