NASA engineers are turning off two instruments on Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to ensure these twin spacecraft can continue exploring interstellar space.

The Voyager probes are each turning off an instrument to avoid ending their 47-year-long missions later this year.

NASA recently shut down Voyager 1's cosmic ray subsystem and Voyager 2's low-energy charged particle will also be deactivated soon.

NASA has made the difficult decision to turn off two science instruments aboard the Voyager spacecraft, ensuring that the longest-running space mission in history continues well into the 2030s. As power levels aboard the twin probes dwindle,

The mission—the Spectro-Photometer for the History of the Universe, Epoch of Reionization and Ices Explorer; or SPHEREx—will examine one of the clues inflation left behind. From its data, scientists hope to gain a better understanding of the culprit (or culprits) behind the rapid expansion.
