   Sep 10, 2024 · Voyager 1 Team Accomplishes Tricky Thruster Swap. A model of NASA’s Voyager spacecraft. The twin Voyagers have been flying since 1977 and are exploring the outer regions of our solar system. The spacecraft uses its thrusters to stay pointed at Earth, but after 47 years in space some of the fuel tubes have become clogged.

   Why did NASA's Voyager 1 switch to backup thrusters?

   • Credit: NASA/JPL-Caltech NASA’s Voyager 1 team tackled complex challenges by successfully switching to backup thrusters after the primary ones became clogged with silicon dioxide. The spacecraft uses its thrusters to stay pointed at Earth, but after 47 years in space some of the fuel tubes have become clogged.

   Could Voyager 1 still be able to communicate with Earth?

   • Engineers at NASA have successfully fired up a set of thrusters Voyager 1 hasn’t used in decades to solve an issue that could keep the 47-year-old spacecraft from communicating with Earth from billions of miles away. When Voyager 1 lifted off to space on September 5, 1977, no one expected that the probe would still be operating today.
