Voyager 1, the most distant human-made object in space, has crossed the termination shock, the last major threshold in the solar system, team members announced today at the annual American Geophysical Union (AGU) meeting in New Orleans, Louisiana.

I'm curious to know what science instruments are still functional on each Voyager. I'm aware that the cameras are now permanently turned off Voyager 2 has some more capability at measuring fields and particles over Voyager 1, but what instruments are actually still operational?

And for how long are they expected to remain operational?
