Episode Details

Voyager 1, launched by NASA in 1977, is still sending data back to Earth from interstellar space. Now the farthest human-made object ever built, Voyager 1 continues transmitting scientific information across billions of miles using its Deep Space Network connection.

Despite aging systems and extreme distances, the spacecraft remains operational, providing insights about cosmic radiation, the heliosphere, and the boundary of our solar system. Its faint radio signals take over 20 hours to reach Earth - a powerful reminder of humanity’s reach into deep space.
