Ngaphandle kokucaphuna ngokuqondile embhalweni, nginikeze isifinyezo somsebenzi wesikhala we-Voyager 1
Context:I-Voyager 1 iyinhlolovo yesikhala eyethulwa yi-NASA ngo-September 5, 1977, njengengxenye yohlelo lwe-Voyager lokufunda i-Solar System yangaphandle kanye nendawo ephakathi kwezinkanyezi ngaphesheya kwe-heliosphere yeLanga. Yethulwe ezinsukwini ezingu-16 ngemva kwewele layo i-Voyager 2, i-Voyager 1 ibisebenza iminyaka engu-45, izinyanga ezingu-7 nosuku olulodwa kusukela ngo-April 6, 2023 UTC [ukuvuselela]. Ixhumana nge-Deep Space Network ye-NASA ukuze ithole imiyalo evamile futhi idlulisele idatha eMhlabeni. I-NASA ne-JPL banikeza idatha yesikhathi sangempela mayelana nebanga nesivinini. Ekude nge-159.20 AU (23.816 billion km; 14.799 billion mi) ukusuka eMhlabeni kusukela ngoMashi 27, 2023, kuyinto ekude kakhulu eyenziwe ngumuntu evela eMhlabeni.  Lolu cwaningo lwadlula eduze kweJupiter, iSaturn, nenyanga enkulu kunazo zonke kaSaturn, iTitan. I - NASA yayikwazi ukukhetha phakathi kokwenza indiza edlula i - Pluto noma iTitan; ukuhlola inyanga kwakuthatha indawo yokuqala ngoba kwakwaziwa ukuthi yayinomkhathi omkhulu. I-Voyager 1 yatadisha isimo sezulu, amandla kazibuthe, nezindandatho zalezi zinkanyezi ezimbili ezinkulu ezinegesi futhi yaba iphenyo lokuqala ukunikeza izithombe ezinemininingwane yezinyanga zazo.  Njengengxenye yohlelo i-Voyager nanjengemikhumbi-mkhathi yayo eyi-Voyager 2, umsebenzi wayo obanzi uwukuthola nokutadisha izindawo nemingcele ye-heliosphere yangaphandle nokuqala ukuhlola indawo ephakathi kwezinkanyezi. I-Voyager 1 yeqa i-heliopause futhi yangena emkhathini wezinkanyezi ngo-August 25, 2012, okwenza kwaba umkhumbi-mkhathi wokuqala ukwenza kanjalo. Eminyakeni emibili kamuva, i-Voyager 1 yaqala ukuzwa "i-tsunami wave" yesithathu ye-coronal mass ejections evela elangeni eyaqhubeka okungenani ngo-December 15, 2014, yaqhubeka iqinisekisa ukuthi i-probe ngempela isendaweni ephakathi kwezinkanyezi.  Ekufakazeleni okunye ukuqina kweVoyager 1, ithimba leVoyager lahlola ama-thrusters we-trajectory correction maneuver (TCM) emkhathizwe ngasekupheleni kuka-2017 (okwakuqala ukuthi lawa ma-thrusters adutshulwe kusukela ngo-1980), iphrojekthi eyenza ukuthi umsebenzi unwetshwe iminyaka emibili kuya kwemithathu. Kulindeleke ukuba lo msebenzi weVoyager 1 oweluliwe uqhubeke kuze kube cishe ngo - 2025, lapho ama - radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) ayobe engasayinikezi amandla kagesi anele okusebenzisa izinsimbi zayo zesayensi.
Umsebenzi we-Voyager 1 wasemkhathini waqala ngo-September 5, 1977 lapho kuthunyelwa i-sonde nemingcele yomsebenzi wokuhlola isimiso sonozungezilanga, amaplanethi, nesimiso sonozungezilanga esingaphandle kwelanga. Lomsebenzi okwamanje usunyaka wawo wama-45 futhi uye wanikeza ulwazi olubalulekile ngomkhathi wamaplanethi anjengeJupiter neSaturn, kuyilapho uqhubeka nokuthola ulwazi lwesayensi ngezifunda zesikhala ezingakaze zihlangane nazo ngaphambili.
