In a remarkable engineering feat, NASA has successfully revived the nearly 50-year-old Voyager 1's thrusters, previously deemed inoperable for over two decades. This critical maneuver ensures the spacecraft remains aligned with Earth, continuing its historic journey through interstellar space. Discover how this unexpected revival came to be and what it means for the future of space exploration.
NASA's Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has revived its main thrusters against all odds, ensuring continued communication in interstellar space. This unexpected fix has reignited hope for the aging spacecraft's mission.
During a critical mission, NASA's Starliner spacecraft experienced severe thruster failures, forcing astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to make life-altering decisions while nearing the ISS. Their harrowing experience sheds light on the challenges of space travel.
NASA and Boeing navigate a complex path as they decide the fate of Starliner’s next flight, with unresolved propulsion issues and a looming 2026 timeline. Will it carry astronauts or cargo?
