Voyager spacecraft

The SETI Institute conducted radio scans of the interstellar comet 3I/Atlas and found no evidence of alien technology. The comet, the third known interstellar object to enter the solar system, was observed by NASA spacecraft but showed no technosignatures. Over 74 million radio signals were detected, but nearly all traced back to Earth or Earth-orbiting satellites.

The SETI Institute conducted radio scans on interstellar comet 3I/Atlas and found no evidence of alien technology. The comet, identified as a natural object from another star system, is the third known interstellar visitor to the solar system. NASA spacecraft observed its closest approach to Mars and Earth in 2023.

NASA still maintains some of the Voyager spacecraft code from the 1970s era, written in a programming language that few people understand. The handful of engineers who do understand it are now in their older age. This code is crucial for the continued operation of the Voyager spacecraft.

NASA's Voyager spacecraft are running low on power after nearly 50 years in space. Voyager 1 was launched in September 1977 and crossed into interstellar space in 2012. The spacecraft's power status is a concern for their continued operation.
