Voyager Probe Is Shutting Down After Shocking Discovery!

The Voyager Space program is one of the longest-running space missions conducted by NASA. It has been more than 40 years since the Voyager 1 and the Voyager 2 left earth to travel billions of kilometres into outer space.

Voyagers 1 and 2 were launched in 1977 have remained functional and continue to send back data that has propelled our understanding of the universe to unimaginable heights. These space crafts, designed using blueprints and low-level technology for today's standards, are a wonder of technology and one of the crowning achievements of NASA scientists.

Over the past 40 years, they have beamed back a continuous stream of data but after this latest unexpected mission, it is time for them to retire. Stick with us as we explain why the Voyager Probe Is Shutting Down After it’s Latest Shocking.

We should launch another similar mission, using current technology. Should be able to get better data and explore further.

Title might be click bait, but an excellent summation -- accurate and logically presented. Well Done.

Hope to hear more from voyager 1 and 2 someday. I graduated high school when they took off.

I truly LOVE how it's not 100% impossible for the movie, "Star Trek: the Motion Picture, " to actually still happen. Go, Vyger, Go!
Before you out yourself as a "stuffed-shirt expert" please know; 1. It's close enough to Voyager 6, let it go. 2. Granted, there's a better chance of politicians becoming honest or monkey's flying from my butt. And 3. Where I come from, crazy is a compliment. This is for that 0.00- a googleplex of 0's -01%, NOT mathematically impossible chance that you never know. Let the dreamers dream. As it should be

Wow! This connects so many dots! Thank you!

[jerryyager]

Sad to see it go. It's been around most of my life. Maybe it's evolving into V GER.

[michaellietz]

Wow ! Thank you ! You had us revisit those Amazing Voyagers and their Adventures

No, NASA isn't "shutting down" the Voyager missions. They're going to keep the spacecraft running for as long as possible. They'll monitor the available power (which slowly reduces, at about 4 W/year) and switch off instruments to stay within that limit. Occasionally, they find a way to keep the instruments running for longer than expected: two years ago the engineers switched off the heater for the cosmic-ray detector, which had been crucial in determining the heliopause transit. Everyone expected the instrument to die, but it kept working.
This, and variability in the rate of decay of the RTG makes it difficult to predict exaxtly when the Voyagers will run out of power to run the last remaining instrument. The current best guess is 'about 2025'.

its amazing the voyagers ran so long when u think of technology we have now compared to 70 s

[gailtuit]

It's interesting that voyager still gets accurate communication from us. Maybe it is telling us that some rules have changed where it is or even that someone is messing with it. Keep ears open

[stoof]

Substance of the video has nothing to do with the title. Kinda clickbait

[erictaylor]

gimme money. trying to build my own back yard voyager.

[australiagreg]

Again with the "shocking"' . Do you know any other words.?

[michaelccopelandsr]

My idea so I get to name it! Voyager 1 is now in interstellar TIME! (Mikey's Time) Think of it like Alvin and the chipmunks. "Vyger's" message is fine. It's just sped up now that it's outside our suns time bubble or "Terran Time." It would be faster still if "Vyger" sent a message from beyond the Milky Way's time bubble. That name is still up for grabs. Outside the Local Group TIME is open, too. Now that "Vyger" is in interstellar space, it's also in the Milky Way's STANDARD, faster moving, interstellar TIME or "Mikey's Time." Pass it on, please and thank you.

Hate to say it, but the news on the AACS was weeks ago. Old news...

[Lenon]

It tough that was the joke pronunciation of Uranus…

[stevemorgan]

Very sad so much success early, then they figure out how much money they can make that's where it went downhill.
