@akshaymuragod - NASA Voyager 2 Shuts Down Plasma Science Instrument to Conserve Power

NASA has shut off one of Voyager 2's scientific instruments to preserve its remaining power as it journeys through interstellar space. The spacecraft, launched on 20 August 1977, is currently positioned 12.8 billion miles from Earth and is exploring beyond the solar system. Since leaving the heliosphere on 5 November 2018, Voyager 2 has been studying the interstellar environment using four active science instruments. However, as the probe's power supply gradually declines, NASA has had to make the tough decision of deactivating another instrument.
