HISTORICAL FACTS: How the most distant human made object in existence ran into trouble - Caught on Camera

• NASA is urgently seeking a solution to prevent its Voyager 1 spacecraft, the most distant human-made object, from running out of power.
• Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 became the first probe to leave the Solar System in 2012 and is currently over 25 billion kilometres from Earth.
• A drop in power levels, first detected on 27 February, forced mission operators to shut down one instrument as a temporary fix.
• The Low-energy Charged Particles experiment (LECP) was deactivated to conserve power, though two other science instruments remain operational and are still sending back data.
• The US space agency is working on a "far-out plan" to extend the craft's lifespan and restore it to full operation, despite its continuous loss of 4 watts of power annually.
