Voyager 1 is powered by three radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) that convert heat released from the radioactive decay of plutonium-238 into electricity. This power source allows the spacecraft to operate its instruments and communicate with Earth, even in the extreme conditions of deep space. The RTGs provide a steady supply of power over long durations, enabling Voyager 1 to continue its mission well beyond its initial operational life.

Which spacecraft discovered the ring system of Jupiter?
The ring system of Jupiter was discovered by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1979. The rings are made up of fine particles of dust and rock and are not as prominent as the rings of Saturn.
Will there ever be a voyager 3 spacecraft?
There are currently no plans for a Voyager 3 spacecraft. The original Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft were launched in the 1970s and continue to send back data from the edge of our solar system. If there were to be a Voyager 3 mission, it would likely be designed for exploring even farther reaches of space.
Is JPL and NASA still in communication with the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts?
Yes, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) remains in communication with both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. While the spacecraft are in interstellar space, they continue to send back scientific data, with Voyager 2 being 11 billion miles away and Voyager 1 more than 14 billion miles away from Earth.
How many shuttles does voyager have?
The Voyager spacecraft does not have shuttles. It is a pair of robotic spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 to study the outer Solar System. Each Voyager spacecraft is equipped with scientific instruments to study planets and their moons but does not have shuttles for transportation.
