When NASA launched the Voyager 1 probe back in 1977, the initial objective was to gather information about our solar system — specifically, the region beyond the asteroid belt (between the orbits of Mars and Jupiter). After more than four decades in the cosmos, Voyager 1 and its sister probe, Voyager 2, have gathered some incredible images and data of …

When we first heard about Star Trek Voyager: Across the Unknown, we were hooked on its killer premise: you take control of the starship Voyager after it’s flung 70,000 light-years into the Delta Quadrant and are tasked with the decisions to keep the ship in one piece. Managing resources, diffusing or engaging in conflict, monitoring your crew’s morale, assigning away …

On September 5, 1977, NASA launched the Voyager 1 probe into space with the aim of studying the outer planets. Voyager 1 launched a couple of weeks after Voyager 2, and both probes have flown to the outer reaches the Solar System, breaking records as the furthest manmade objects ever made. The mission has been going on for nearly half a …

Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has traveled farther than any spacecraft in human history. After more than four decades of silent endurance through space, it now sails beyond the orbit of the outer planets of the solar system. Its mission has transcended planetary flybys; it’s now humanity’s first direct way to explore interstellar space. NASA has used radio to talk to Voyager …

The innovative and exciting Voyager 1 spacecraft is expected to achieve something in 2026 that’s never been accomplished in human history before. The Voyager 1 launched in 1977 and is currently travelling at a trajectory of 38,000 mph – it’s been travelling for almost 50 years. It was originally built to study Jupiter and Saturn, but crossed the edge of …

Launched as part of a mission to study the outer planets, Voyager 1 has now traversed a distance so vast that light itself—the fastest thing in the universe—would take 24 hours to cover it. The spacecraft has exceeded all expectations in both duration and distance, becoming a symbol of human persistence in exploring the cosmos. NASA’s engineers had originally intended …

Launched nearly half a century ago, Voyager 1 has travelled farther than any other human-made object — and it’s still sending back surprises. Now more than 15 billion miles from Earth, the spacecraft has detected something extraordinary at the edge of our solar system: a blistering region so intense that it may force scientists to rethink what they know about …

It is almost half a century since Voyager 1 was launched from Cape Canaveral in Florida on a mission to study Jupiter, Saturn, and the atmosphere of Titan. It continues to send data back to Earth. Although engineers reckon that the aging spacecraft might survive well into the 2030s before eventually passing out of range of the Deep Space Network, …
