Die NASA schaltet das wissenschaftliche Instrument Voyager 2 ab, da die Leistung nachlässt

For anyone else thinking this might sound familiar or that they’ve been making articles about it shutting down every few years now, the power loss from the radioactive source is *very* gradual and they have been stretching out what power they have available by slowly shutting down individual systems to still keep using whatever they’re able to.

You can see the status of individual systems for each Voyager probe on NASA’s website if you scroll down a bit:

Several of the other instruments are still operational and will continue to collect data for now.

Anyone else find it amazing that they are able to shut down anything on this thing from earth?
