Voyager 1
1 reportVoyager 1 is a spacecraft whose power, propulsion, communications, navigation, and payload determine its operational and scientific capabilities. Technical records and released data are judged through attitude control, science payload, and power system, including failures, uncertainty, and operating constraints.
New findings about Voyager 1 are placed alongside long-distance communications, while also considering outer-planet observations and heliosphere measurements. The strength of statements about long-distance communications depends on how well mission operations reports is supported by telemetry; the result is bounded by the possibility that hardware constraints and changing conditions can limit scientific return.

How the Heliosphere Shields the Solar System from Interstellar Space
Researchers are mapping the heliosphere, the vast bubble created by the solar wind that surrounds the Sun and planets, to understand how it protects the solar system from cosmic radiation and shapes planetary environments
