Voyager 1 and the other probes that are in or on their way to interstellar space, except New Horizons. Voyager 1 transmitted audio signals generated by plasma waves from interstellar space. On September 12, 2013, NASA officially confirmed that Voyager 1 had reached the interstellar medium in August 2012 as previously observed. The generally ...
Voyager 1 was launched after Voyager 2, but along a shorter and faster trajectory that was designed to provide an optimal flyby of Saturn's moon Titan, [21] which was known to be quite large and to possess a dense atmosphere. This encounter sent Voyager 1 out of the plane of the ecliptic, ending its planetary science mission. [22]
The Infinite Voyager : The Golden Record at the Wayback Machine (archived November 6, 2014), an MIT page of then-student Lily Bui comprising a collection of recordings included; Voyager 1 audio on Internet Archive; Golden Record: Sounds of Earth, an official NASA SoundCloud page with recordings
NASA's Voyager 1, the most distant spacecraft from Earth, is sending science data again. Voyager 1's four instruments are back in business after a computer problem in November, the Jet Propulsion ...
Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977. At a distance of about 162.755 AU (2.435 × 10 10 km) as of 8 February 2025, [7] [8] it is the farthest manmade object from Earth. [9] It was later estimated that Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock on December 16, 2004 at a distance of 94 AU from the Sun. [10] [11]
The Voyager Golden Records are two identical phonograph records one of each which were included aboard the two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. [1] The records contain sounds and data to reconstruct raster scan images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth, and are intended for any intelligent extraterrestrial life form who may find them.
Voyager 1 entered interstellar space in 2012. [28] As of January 19, 2019, Voyager 1 was at a distance of 145.148 AU (13.492 billion miles (21.713 × 10 ^ 9 km)) from Earth, traveling away from the Sun at a speed of about 10.6 mi/s (17.1 km/s), which corresponds to a greater specific orbital energy than any other probe.

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.
