#Nasa engineers expect #Voyager1 to continue operating until the year of 2025 in which engineers are turning off one instrument per years . Even if science data won't likely be collected after 2025, engineering data could continue to be returned for several more years. Voyager 1 spacecraft could remain in the range of the #DeepSpace Network through about 2036, depending on how much power the spacecraft still have to transmit a signal back to #Earth. Voyager 1 has been operating for over 44 years, 6 months, and 1 day and still communicates with the Deep Space Network to receive routine commands and to transmit data to Earth.
