NASA has turned off Voyager 2's plasma science instrument to conserve power, enabling the spacecraft to continue its mission until the 2030s. Launched in 1977, Voyager 2 is over 12 billion miles from Earth and explores beyond the sun's bubble. Meanwhile, Voyager 1 continues its journey in interstellar space, over 15 billion miles from Earth.
