NASA to keep its 48-year-old Voyager 2 probe running for yet another year

NASA has made adjustments to the 48-year-old Voyager 2 probe to extend its operational life for another year by managing its power consumption more efficiently. The spacecraft relies on a nuclear battery powered by decaying plutonium, which gradually loses power output over time. This intervention allows NASA to continue gathering data from one of humanity's most distant spacecraft exploring interstellar space.
