Original Note:
The Voyager spacecraft are powered by Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) that do not depend on sunlight. Over nearly 50 years of operation, the power output from the RTG has depleted, but is expected to power at least one instrument until the 2030s. https://blogs.nasa.gov/voyager/2024/10/01/nasa-turns-off-science-instrument-to-save-voyager-2-power/
