I'm wondering if the Voyager spacecraft, which has been traveling through space for many years, will continue its journey indefinitely or if there's an end point to its mission.

Due to this significant distance, they are unable to rely on solar power for their operational needs.

As a result, the Voyagers utilize a radioisotope thermoelectric generator (RTG) as their primary power source.

The RTG converts the heat from the decay of radioactive material into electricity, enabling the Voyagers to continue their missions.
