  1. RE: mastodon.social/@wawn/11647116

    This thing keeps impressing me even more each time I see an update!

    Currently it takes 23 and a half hours for a signal from Earth to reach #Voyager1!

    It takes 47 hours for #Nasa to get a reply!

    Yet, they maintain control! They can still read the equipment on board!

    That thing was yeeted into #Space all the way back in 1977 while I was still shitting my diapers in black and white! We both turn fifty next year!

    If it can keep on going, then so can you and I!

  5. The Little Probe That Could: Why #Voyager1 Matters, and Why #NASA Just Switched Part of It Off
    #Spacecraft runs on a radioisotope thermoelectric generator — converts heat from plutonium into electricity. It has no solar panels, no batteries. Just the slow, steady release of nuclear warmth, diminishing 4W/yr. After 5 decades, thats become critical.
    Voyager 1 now carries two operational #science instruments: one listens for plasma waves, and one measures magnetic fields.

  6. After 48 years, 7 months, 30 days, 22 hours, and 2 minutes, Voyager 2 is approximately 21.5 billion km (13.4 billion miles) from the Earth.

    That's 143.867 au or, at the speed of light, 19h 56m 30s.

    From the Sun, Voyager 2 is approximately 21.3 billion km (13.3 billion miles or 142.666 au.)

    Velocity relative to the Earth is about 28 km/sec (~62,999 mph); to the Sun about 15 km/sec (~33,642 mph.)

    Voyager 2 has no thoughts today.

  11. Um Betrieb von Voyager 1 aufrecht zu erhalten muss Instrument deaktiviert werden
    Raumschiff mit nuklearelektrischer Stromversorgung geht Energie aus. Am 17. April sendeten Ingenieure des JPL Kommandos, um Instrument an Bord von Voyager 1 abzuschalten, das „Low-energy Charged Particles Experiment“ (LECP). Abschalten des LECP gilt als beste Möglichkeit, 1. interstellaren Erkundungssatelliten der Menschheit weiterfliegen zu lassen. Pressemitteilung NASA. #Voyager1 raumfahrer.net/um-den-betrieb-
