Voyager scientific instruments

The Voyager spacecraft are equipped with instruments designed to study the environments they travel through, including magnetic fields, particles, and radiation. These instruments include magnetometers to measure magnetic fields, plasma detectors for charged particles, and photometers and cameras to capture images of planets, moons, and the outer solar system. Together, they help scientists understand the composition, behavior, and physical properties of distant celestial objects and the space between planets, providing valuable data about our solar system and its surroundings beyond the reach of Earth-based observations.
