Pa Epulo 17, 2026, mainjiniya a NASA kuzimitsa Chimodzi mwa zida zasayansi zomwe zidagwiritsidwa ntchito pa chombo cha Voyager 1 ndi kuyesa kwa Low-Energy Charged Particle (LECP). Mainjiniya ku Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) kum'mwera kwa California adapanga chisankho chosunga mphamvu kuchokera ku gwero la mphamvu ya nyukiliya ya chombocho.
Chombo cha Voyager 1, chomwe chinayambitsidwa mu 1977 ndipo chakhala chikuuluka kwa zaka pafupifupi 49, chikadali chinthu chakutali kwambiri chopangidwa ndi anthu ndipo ndi chinthu choyamba chomwe anthu amafufuza m'mlengalenga. Chinadutsa mlengalenga—malire achilengedwe a dongosolo la dzuwa—mu 2012. Chida ichi tsopano chili pamtunda wa makilomita pafupifupi 24,5 biliyoni kuchokera ku Dziko Lapansi. Chimatenga pafupifupi maola 23—pafupifupi tsiku limodzi—kuti kuwala ndi chizindikiro ziyende mbali iliyonse. Zimatenga maola ena 23 kuti chilandire chizindikiro chobwerera.
Kuzimitsa kwa chida china chinali sitepe yofunika kwambiri kuti chipangizocho chigwire ntchito bwino ngakhale magetsi akuchepa pang'onopang'ono. Chida cha LECP chinali chikugwira ntchito popanda kusokoneza kuyambira pomwe chombocho chinayamba kugwira ntchito, kusonkhanitsa deta yapadera pa tinthu tating'onoting'ono topanda mphamvu zambiri—ma ion, ma electron, ndi kuwala kwa cosmic—kochokera ku Solar System ndi magwero a galactic. Zinalola kuti kapangidwe ka pakati pa nyenyezi kupitirira heliosphere kaphunzire, ndikuwulula ma pressure fronts ndi madera okhala ndi tinthu tosiyanasiyana. Ma Voyagers akadali chombo chokhacho chomwe chingathe kupereka chidziwitso chotere kuchokera kutali kwambiri, chifukwa palibe chipangizo china chomwe chadutsa malire omwe Dzuwa silikhudza kwambiri ma fluxes a tinthu.
Kusankha chida ichi choletsa kugwira ntchito sikunali mwangozi: zaka zingapo zapitazo, magulu a sayansi ndi mainjiniya a NASA adapanga dongosolo loletsa kugwira ntchito kwa zida motsatizana kuti awonjezere moyo wa ntchito za ma probe ndikusunga kufunika kwa sayansi kwa ntchitoyo. Zida zisanu ndi ziwiri mwa khumi zomwe zidayikidwa poyamba pa chombo chilichonse chamlengalenga zidachotsedwa kale. Kwa Voyager 1, LECP ndiye yotsatira. Chida chofanana pa Voyager 2 chidachotsedwa mu Marichi 2025. Izi zikutsimikizira kuti gululo likusunga machitidwe ofunikira kwambiri a ma probe, kuphatikizapo kulumikizana ndi Dziko Lapansi ndi miyeso yoyambira, mu dongosolo logwira ntchito.
Kutseka LECP kudzalola Voyager 1 kuti ipitirize kugwira ntchito kwa zaka zingapo, ndikusunga udindo wake monga katswiri wofufuza zapakati pa nyenyezi. Ngakhale chimodzi mwa zida zake zasayansi chidzasiya kutumiza deta, ntchitoyi ipitilizabe kuphunzira za mlengalenga pakati pa nyenyezi. Chisankhochi chikugogomezera zomwe mainjiniya okonzekera bwino adayika mu majenereta a nyukiliya kuti awonjezere nthawi ya moyo wa chombo chomwe chinayambitsidwa pafupifupi zaka makumi asanu zapitazo.
