Astronauts at the International Space Station will move a SpaceX Dragon to a new port to make way for an uncrewed spacecraft on a resupply mission.

NASA's farthest spacecraft, Voyager 1, is running low on power but carries on its journey through interstellar space. Credit: NASA / JPL-Caltech illustration At 15.4 billion miles away from Earth in interstellar space, Voyager 1 won't last much longer.

The 47-year-old NASA Voyager 1 fell back on a radio transmitter it hadn’t used since 1981 to ping home base after a technical issue caused a days-long communication stall between Earth and the farthest-ever recorded spacecraft.
