Voyager 2 Gets Power Boost | Science News

NASA’s engineers pulled off a daring “Big Bang” power-saving maneuver to keep Voyager 2 alive for at least another year, swapping out energy-hungry parts for lighter ones while staying warm enough to function—after nearly 50 years of spaceflight. With power dwindling and instruments already turned off, this fix delays the inevitable shutdown of another science tool until 2026. The same upgrade is planned for Voyager 1 soon—proof that these aging spacecraft still roam the cosmos, defying time.
