Today we celebrate the Voyager 1 & 2 spacecraft and their 40 years in space. These two spacecraft are exploring where nothing from Earth has flown before. Launched two weeks apart in 1977, these two spacecraft took some of the very first up-close images we have of the planets in our solar system.
Their primary mission was the exploration of Jupiter and Saturn. After making a string of discoveries there – such as active volcanoes on Jupiter’s moon Io and intricacies of Saturn’s rings – the mission was extended. Voyager 2 went on to explore Uranus and Neptune, and is still the only spacecraft to have visited those outer planets.
Voyager 1 made the historic entry into interstellar space, the region between the stars, in 2012.
Carried on both spacecraft are an ambitious message, a kind of time capsule, intended to communicate a story of our world to extraterrestrials. The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record, a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth.
