Voyager 1 overtakes Pioneer 10 as the most distant spacecraft from the Sun, at 69.419 AU. Voyager 1 is moving away from the Sun at over 1 AU per year faster than Pioneer 10. 2004-12-17 Passed the termination shock at 94 AU and entered the heliosheath. 2007-02-02 Terminated plasma subsystem operations. 2007-04-11 Terminated plasma subsystem heater.
The Voyager program is an American scientific program that employs two interstellar probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. They were launched in 1977 to take advantage of a favorable planetary alignment to explore the two gas giants Jupiter and Saturn and potentially also the ice giants, Uranus and Neptune - to fly near them while collecting data for ...
Voyager I: Sabotage of the Robot Ship is a computer game designed and programmed by William D. Volk, [1] and published by the Microcomputer Games division of Avalon Hill.It was originally released for the Apple II in 1981, [1] with later versions for the Atari 8-bit computers, [2] TRS-80 Color Computer, [3] TRS-80, and Commodore PET.
Voyager 1 has been using one of its two radio transmitters, called an X-band based on the frequency it utilizes, for decades. Meanwhile, the other transmitter, called the S-band, which uses a ...
Voyager 1 used the thrusters for a variety of purposes as it flew by planets such as Jupiter and Saturn in 1979 and 1980, respectively. Now, the spacecraft is traveling on an unchanging path away ...
Voyager 1 has been using the X-band transmitter for decades, but the S-band hadn’t been employed since 1981 because its signal is much fainter than the X-band’s. The team had to seek out the ...
Voyager 1 and its twin, the Voyager 2 probe, each launched in 1977 on missions to study the outer solar system. As it sped through the cosmos, Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, studying the ...
Trajectories of Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. The Grand Tour is a NASA program that would have sent two groups of robotic probes to all the planets of the outer Solar System.It called for four spacecraft, two of which would visit Jupiter, Saturn, and Pluto, while the other two would visit Jupiter, Uranus, and Neptune.
