The mission's ground team has switched off one of Voyager 2's heaters to conserve energy.

NASA fights to keep the Voyager probes running after four decades

NASA's Voyager probes are still out there, exploring interstellar space, 42 years after they left our planet. To keep them running all these years, with generators that are 40 percent less powerful than they were decades ago -- and which are producing less and less energy over time -- the agency had to sacrifice some of their parts and components. In fact, the mission managers have recently switched off the heater for Voyager 2's cosmic ray subsystem instrument (CRS) as part of their new power management plan. That was the component to sacrifice at this point because the CRS can only look in certain fixed directions. Thankfully, it didn't spell instant death for the cosmic ray instrument. The team has confirmed that it's been sending back data even after its temperature dropped to minus 74 degrees Fahrenheit.

Somehow, the company kept the app going since 2012. The team is shutting down Field Trip's services sometime later in 2019 to "prioritize" its efforts on augmented reality experiences.
