"Potential End of Communication for NASA's Voyager Spacecraft"

NASA's Voyager 1 and 2, launched in 1977, are on the brink of losing communication with Earth as their power supply dwindles. Despite this, NASA aims to keep in touch with the probes until their 50th anniversary in 2027. The spacecraft, now in interstellar space, have provided invaluable data on charged particles and magnetic fields. Engineers are conserving power by shutting off non-essential systems, but the probes may continue to drift in space for hundreds of thousands of years, carrying golden records meant to communicate with extraterrestrial life.
