      “Now, to conserve the little power left on Voyager 2 and prolong the mission’s life, the Voyager scientists and engineers have made the decision to shut off MIT’s Plasma Science Experiment. It’s the first in a line of science instruments that will progressively blink off over the coming years. On Sept. 26, the Voyager 2 PLS sent its last communication from 12.7 billion miles away, before it received the command to shut down.”

      How does any signal reach earth from so far away in the Voyager program crafts?

      Just turn it off and on. It should work fine for another decade then.

      That has honestly been one of the most informative pieces when it left our solar system. Sad to see it go.

      That little probe doesn’t owe NASA anything. It’s done its job beyond expectations.

      Hy crap! That’s a piece that I use in Kerbal Space Program! Well they had to get inspiration from somewhere–why not from real-world spacecraft?
