VOYAGER MISSI ON
imagination
THE BUDDING IDEA!
This alignment, which occurs once every 175 years, would occur
in the late 1970s and make it possible to use gravitational assists
to explore Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto.
SPACECRAFT DESIGN
The Voyager spacecraft weigh 773 kilograms. Of this, 105 kilograms are
scientific instruments.
All long-range communications to and from the two Voyagers have been
carried out using their 3.7-meter high-gain antennas.
September 5, 1977.
WHAT WAS THEIR MISSION?
Penetration of the heliopause boundary between the solar wind and the
interstellar medium will allow measurements to be made of the interstellar
fields, particles and waves unaffected by the solar wind.
WHAT PATH DID THEY FOLLOW?
WHERE ARE THEY NOW?
