Nearly forty-six years is a good run for a spacecraft -- a historic, record-breaking run. Is retirement near for NASA’s interstellar spacecraft Voyager 1 and 2? Not yet, according to the team working to eke out a few more years with the twin spacecraft because there is still much to learn.

After an erroneous command sent the spacecraft’s antenna askew, mission specialists hatched a plan to point it back toward Earth.

NASA has received a signal from Voyager 2 after accidentally losing contact with it, paving the way for an attempt to restore full communications.

The legendary probe went silent two weeks ago as the result of NASA transmitting a potentially faulty command.

The aging spacecraft’s antenna was misdirected by a glitch, although officials say the distant probe appears to be functioning as intended.

The spacecraft’s antenna is—alarmingly—no longer pointing towards Earth, in what NASA hopes is a temporary problem.

The late astronomer's personal master reel of the golden record hurtling through space is up for auction at Sotheby's.

The Voyager 2 spacecraft, which is now travelling in interstellar space, has gotten a new lease of life after mission engineers developed a new plan to keep its instruments running for longer.

The interstellar traveler is gradually losing power, but a clever tweak means it can continue running all of its scientific instruments.

New research using the Hubble Space Telescope shows that Saturn's icy rings actually heat up its upper atmosphere.
