On Feb. 17, Voyager 1 will be 10.4 billion kilometers (6.5 billion miles) from Earth and is departing the Solar System at a speed of 17.4 kilometers per second (39,000 miles per hour).

The two spacecraft are exploring regions of space never before encountered, building on the legacy of one of NASA’s most successful and productive missions. The Voyager Interstellar Mis- sion (VIM) is critical for meeting several science objectives of …

The Rank Prize for Optoelectronics was awarded in London today (Mar. 14) to two JPL engineers and former JPL contractor in recognition of their work on vidicon cameras, such as those carried on the Voyager spacecraft mission to the outer planets.

Voyager 1 Distance from Earth This is a real-time indicator of Voyager 1's distance from Earth in astronomical units (AU) and either miles (mi) or kilometers (km).

Watch videos and view images of Voyager 1 and 2 as they passed by Saturn, Jupiter, Uranus and Neptune and get a glimpse into the images relating to the Golden Record.

Spacecraft The identical Voyager spacecraft are three-axis stabilized systems that use celestial or gyro referenced attitude control to maintain pointing of the high-gain antennas toward Earth. The prime mission science payload consisted of 10 instruments (11 …

Voyager 1 completed its planned close flybys of the Jupiter and Saturn planetary systems while Voyager 2, in addition to its own close flybys of Jupiter and Saturn, completed close flybys of the remaining two gas giants, Uranus and Neptune.

The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record, a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth.

Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have reached "Interstellar space" and each continue their unique journey through the Universe. In the NASA Eyes on the Solar System app, you can see the real spacecraft trajectories of the Voyagers, which are updated every five minutes.
