Nearly five decades after launching from Earth, NASA’s Voyager 2 spacecraft is still exploring interstellar space — and engineers have found another clever way to keep the aging probe alive. NASA engineers have successfully implemented a major power-saving maneuver nicknamed the “Big Bang” on Voyager 2. The carefully planned operation is expected to allow the spacecraft’s remaining science instruments to continue operating for at least another year. The achievement is another remarkable example of engineers extending the life of a...Click for full post
