Voyager 2 shuts down science experiment
Voyager 2 shuts down science experiment as power stores dwindle

NASA shuts off Voyager 2 science instrument as power dwindles
Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are powered by decaying plutonium, and they lose around 4 watts of power every year. In the 1980s, several of their instruments were turned off after the two spacecraft finished investigating the solar system's giant planets. This granted both probes extra power, boosting their longevity.
