Sep 5, 1977 · Voyager 1 reached interstellar space in August 2012 and is the most distant human-made object in existence. Launched just shortly after its twin spacecraft, Voyager 2, in 1977, Voyager 1 explored the Jovian and Saturnian systems discovering new moons, active volcanoes and a wealth of data about the outer solar system.

Apr 1, 2024 · In case you missed it, Voyager 1 and 2, both launched in 1977, are still barreling along at about 17 km/second into interstellar space. The initial launch and trajectories placed both Voyagers out of the plane of the solar system, as shown above.

Dec 3, 2024 · NASA engineers have successfully restored contact with Voyager 1 and the spacecraft is operating normally after its dwindling power supply caused a weekslong blackout.

Jun 14, 2024 · NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft is fully operational for the first time since November 2023, with all four science instruments returning usable data to Earth.
