VOYAGER 1
Voyager 1 is no more
COMMENTS
Voyager
Note: Because Earth moves around the Sun faster than Voyager 1 or Voyager 2 is traveling from Earth, the one-way light time between Earth and each spacecraft actually decreases at certain times of the year. ... Where are the Voyagers now? To learn more about Voyager, zoom in and give the spacecraft a spin. View the full interactive experience ...
Where Are They Now?
Where Are They Now? Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have reached "interstellar space" and each continue their unique journey deeper into the cosmos. In NASA's Eyes on the Solar System app, you can see the actual spacecraft trajectories of the Voyagers updated every five minutes.
Where are the Voyagers now?
Voyager 2 is now more than 96 AU from the sun, traveling at a speed of 15.5 kilometers per second (9.6 miles per second). Both spacecraft are moving considerably faster than Pioneers 10 and 11, two earlier spacecraft that became the first robotic visitors to fly past Jupiter and Saturn in the mid-70s. This processed color image of Jupiter was ...
Voyager 2
NASA's Voyager 2 is the second spacecraft to enter interstellar space. On Dec. 10, 2018, the spacecraft joined its twin - Voyager 1 - as the only human-made objects to enter the space between the stars. Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to study all four of the solar system's giant planets at close range. Voyager 2 discovered a 14th moon at ...
Voyager
Mission Overview. The twin Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Continuing on their more-than-40-year journey since their 1977 launches, they each are much farther away from Earth and the sun than Pluto. In August 2012, Voyager 1 made the historic entry into interstellar space, the region between ...
NASA says it has resumed full contact with its Voyager 2 spacecraft
Scientists received a response at about 12:30 a.m. ET Friday. Voyager 2 is now operating normally, returning science and telemetry data, and "remains on its expected trajectory," NASA said.
Voyager
This tells how long it would take a radio signal transmitted right now, traveling at the speed of light, to get either from Earth to Voyager 2 or from Voyager 2 to Earth. ... Data from this instrument suggested that Voyager 2 entered interstellar space on November 5, 2018, when the inside particles (green) dipped closer to 0.0 and the outside ...
Voyager 2
Voyager 2. The Voyager 2 spacecraft, which has been in operation since 1977 and is the only spacecraft to have ever visited Uranus and Neptune, has made its way to interstellar space, where its twin spacecraft, Voyager 1, has resided since August 2012. Visit Mission Website. Launch Date. Aug. 20, 1977.
Voyager
Voyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2 are the only spacecraft ever to operate outside the heliosphere, the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields generated by the Sun. Voyager 1 reached the interstellar boundary in 2012, while Voyager 2 (traveling slower and in a different direction than its twin) reached it in 2018. Mission Type.
Voyager 2: An iconic spacecraft that's still exploring 45 years on
Voyager 2 was the first of twin probes sent to explore our solar system. After reaching interstellar space in 2014 the probe continues to explore the cosmos. ... To see where Voyager 2 is now you ...
NASA's Voyager Spacecraft Still Reaching for the Stars After 40 Years
Voyager 2, now almost 11 billion miles from Earth, travels south and is expected to enter interstellar space in the next few years. The different locations of the two Voyagers allow scientists to compare right now two regions of space where the heliosphere interacts with the surrounding interstellar medium using instruments that measure charged ...
Voyager 2
Voyager 2 is a space probe launched by NASA on August 20, 1977, it has been sending scientific data to Earth for 46 years, 8 months, 6 days, making it the oldest active space probe. ... The spacecraft is now in its extended mission of studying the interstellar medium.
The most distant spacecraft in the solar system
We now have five spacecraft that have either reached the edges of our solar system or are fast approaching it: Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and New Horizons. Most of these probes ...
NASA is keeping Voyager 2 going until at least 2026 by tapping ...
But engineers have now found a way to tap reserve power from a safety mechanism that regulates the spacecraft's voltage. ... Voyager 2 is 12.3 billion miles away from Earth and counting. Voyager 1 ...
NASA's Voyager 2 Is Out of Contact but Not Lost in Space
The Latest. Voyager 2, the aging explorer of our solar system, appears to be alive and well, NASA officials said on Tuesday. But they may not be able to communicate with the spacecraft for at ...
NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft is now interstellar. Where to next?
Voyager 2 may be freshly interstellar, but it won't be anywhere near another star until 40,000 years from now, when it will pass within 1.7 light-years of the small red dwarf star Ross 248.
NASA's Voyager 2 Probe Enters Interstellar Space
Voyager 2 now is slightly more than 11 billion miles (18 billion kilometers) from Earth. Mission operators still can communicate with Voyager 2 as it enters this new phase of its journey, but information - moving at the speed of light - takes about 16.5 hours to travel from the spacecraft to Earth. By comparison, light traveling from the ...
Voyager 1 transmitting data again after Nasa remotely fixes 46-year-old
Voyager 1 will come within 1.7 light years of a star in the constellation Ursa Minor, while Voyager 2 will come within a similar distance of a star called Ross 248 in the constellation of Andromeda.
Voyager 1 and 2: The Interstellar Mission
Voyager 2 also took pictures of Uranus and Neptune. Together, the Voyager missions discovered 22 moons. Since then, these spacecraft have continued to travel farther away from us. Voyager 1 and 2 are now so far away that they are in interstellar space—the region between the stars. No other spacecraft have ever flown this far away.
Voyager
Voyager 1 is now leaving the solar system, rising above the ecliptic plane at an angle of about 35 degrees at a rate of about 520 million kilometers (about 320 million miles) a year. ... Voyager 2 is also headed out of the solar system, diving below the ecliptic plane at an angle of about 48 degrees and a rate of about 470 million kilometers ...
NASA Hears From Voyager 1, the Most Distant Spacecraft From Earth
It takes 22 1/2 hours to send a signal to Voyager 1, more than 15 billion miles (24 billion kilometers) away in interstellar space. The signal travel time is double that for a round trip.

NASA back in communication with Voyager I, now 15 billion miles ...
The space craft is the most distant manmade object in space having entered interstellar space 22 years ago. Voyager 1, and its twin Voyager 2, were launched 46 years ago.
Voyager
Following Voyager 2's closest approach to Neptune on August 25, 1989, the spacecraft flew southward, below the ecliptic plane and onto a course that will take it, too, to interstellar space. Reflecting the Voyagers' new transplanetary destinations, the project is now known as the Voyager Interstellar Mission.
