  • The Voyager space probes are the furthest man made objects from Earth. With Voyager 1 being 21 Billion Kilometres from Earth, communication with the Space probe relies on the Deep Space Network. But how far can Voyager 1 go before we lose communication? This video looks at how we communicate with Voyager and when it will eventually stop receiving our signals.

    I had worked at Goddard Space Flight Center GSFC, with the EE's from the DSN form 1971 - 1985. What is truly beyond amazing is that in the 45 years of travel we have only been able to communicate with VG1 because we have been continual improving our receivers to pick up a weaker and weaker signal. In other words 45 years ago, it would have been impossible to communicate with the VG1 at a distance of 11 billion miles.

    The two probes left, I believe 16 days apart, with voyager 2 leaving first then voyager 1. The names were given as they believed voyager 1 would reach Jupiter and short after reach Saturn first. Keep in mind the were only built to last 5 years. After doing their missions they kept on going and eventually their missions were changed to explore the unknown. Voyager 1 entered the interstellar space and a bit later voyager 2 did as well. Hopefully they send in their last pictures before they die and disappear for good into the far beyond where no man has gone before.

Since entering into interstellar space, Voyager 1's camera was turned off because it would not be near anything close enough to photograph. The energy was saved for data sensors.

It would need to required instruments and even if they had all that, they'd still need to find Voyager.

      @@1barnet1 I remember reading about that. It is located in a Firehouse and has never been turned off. Electricity runs through it heating it to glowing, I bet it is a very yellow light with a thick filament. Modern lights have tungsten filaments that are very fine, and run so hot they glow white. Atoms are thrown off the wire when it is on and coats the inside of the bulb, dimming it. It also weakens the filaments as they become thinner. Everytime it is turned on the filament heats up and stretches, then shrinks when cooling when off. Eventually it must fail. That's the price of cheap brilliant white light.

The power levels have been continuously dropping since it was built. In 8 years, the power level will drop to the point where the transmitter can no longer function.

    The current estimate is that the 2 Voyagers will no longer produce enough power to run a single instrument by ~2025. The team wants to try and keep the mission going to the 50-year mark, with the spacecraft just sending telemetry after 2025.
    If the Voyagers had more power, our current Deep Space Network setup could keep in contact with them until 2057, with a bit rate of 40 bits/s.
