Voyager Probes: 50 Years of Unyielding Exploration

NASA's Voyager spacecraft, launched nearly 50 years ago, continue to operate despite dwindling power and communication challenges. Voyager 1 recently experienced a communication pause due to a fault protection system triggered by power issues, but engineers have restored contact. Both Voyager probes are expected to remain operational until at least the early 2030s, thanks to the ingenuity of the Voyager team and upgrades to the Deep Space Network. The mission's longevity is a testament to the original design and the dedication of successive generations of engineers.
