Voyager-1 and Voyager-2 space probes

The Voyager-1 and Voyager-2 space probes will have some systems disabled to extend their operability at least until 2030.

The fact is that the United States, together with European countries, plan to launch the Interstellar spacecraft into space in the early 2030s, which will partially duplicate the goals of the Voyager-1 and Voyager-2 missions.

Both probes were originally designed for five years of operation. However, thanks to the high-quality work of engineers, the devices work up to the present day.

According to some experts, the service life of the devices may end as early as 2025, because plutonium, which is used as fuel, decomposes too quickly.
