More Functions
The working PLS included in Voyager 2 could also function as a boon for exploring the universe. This is because, although Voyager 1 passed the heliopause first, Voyager 2 did so at a different place and different time while having a working PLS.
Sent Back
Data is now being sent back to experts at NASA from Voyager 1 and 2. From this information, these experts have been able to examine the heliosphere and its response to elements beyond its boundaries. This is vital to making more discoveries.
