A thruster glitch suffered this past April will delay the BepiColombo mission's arrival at Mercury by nearly a year, to ...

NASA's most distant spacecraft had a critical thruster problem far from home. Fixing it required a long-distance call to ...

Engineers have mitigated an issue with Voyager 1’s thrusters, enabling the mission to stay in touch with mission controllers ...

NASA on Friday said it would be sending two astronauts on the next SpaceX mission to the International Space Station instead of the planned four so that two who remain stranded there can return in ...

Engineers working on NASA's Voyager 1 probe have successfully mitigated an issue with the spacecraft's thrusters, which keep ...

4), but thruster issues mean the probe faces a lengthy delay before entering orbit around the solar system's innermost planet. BepiColombo launched in 2018 on an Ariane 5 rocket to seek out ...

According to NASA, this problem first cropped up in 2002 when engineers noticed the fuel tubes that route hydrazine fuel to ...

NASA's Voyager 1 faces age-related thruster issues due to clogging. Engineers switch to backup thrusters to keep Voyager operational.

After it had trouble docking with the station, more leaks were found affecting its thruster system. Most recently, Boeing completed tests on spare thrusters back on the surface in an attempt to ...

Engineers switched again to the trajectory correction thruster set in 2018 when the second set also appeared clogged. But when the team recently checked on the status of Voyager’s trajectory ...

Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object traveling through interstellar space, encountered thruster problems, affecting its ability to stay oriented toward Earth for communication.
