NASA Powers Down Additional Instruments on Voyager 1 to Conserve Energy
NASA has turned off more instruments on Voyager 1 due to a drop in power during a maneuver, impacting its scientific capabilities. The Low-energy Charged Particles experiment (LECP) was shut down earlier than planned, but a potential fix may restore it. Voyager 1 still has two functioning science instruments.
