NASA figured out how to keep its 48-year-old Voyager 2 probe running for yet another year

NASA figured out how to keep its 48-year-old Voyager 2 probe running for yet another year. NASA's Voyager 2 probe, which launched in 1977, can keep operating its last science instruments after a power reduction operation performed in interstellar space.

A apuração publicada por www.space.com vira base para uma leitura editorial direta e contextualizada.

Trechos de apoio da pauta: NASA just made an interstellar tweak to the Voyager 2 spacecraft, known as the "Big Bang", to keep its remaining 50-year-old science instruments running a little longer.Voyager 2 and its twin launched in 1977, called Voyager 1, rely on a form of nuclear battery known as a radioisotope thermoelectric generator that uses the heat produced by the decay of plutonium. But the supply of plutonium on each probe drops at about four watts a year on each spacecraft.
