Voyager spacecraft continue to defy age with NASA hack.

TL;DR Summary
NASA's Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched in 1977, are still running and exploring interstellar space. The spacecraft have experienced glitches due to their age, but engineers have been able to fix them. The spacecraft have limited power, so the team has to prioritize which instruments and systems stay powered on. By using backup power, the team can keep a science instrument on Voyager 2 running until 2026. The mission could continue running for years ahead, exploring the farthest reaches of the solar system.
