Voyager Missions

The Voyager Missions consist of two space probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, launched by NASA in 1977 to explore the outer planets and beyond. They studied Jupiter, Saturn, and their moons, providing valuable scientific data. After completing their primary missions, they continued outward, now venturing into interstellar space. Voyager 1 is the farthest human-made object from Earth, transmitting data about the heliosphere's boundary and cosmic environment. These missions have expanded our understanding of the solar system and beyond, and both spacecraft carry a "Golden Record" with sounds and images representing Earth for potential alien discovery.
