Voyager: 35 Years Later

submitted by critical_d

1 decade 1 year 8 months ago

Thirty-five years ago today, Aug. 20, 2012, NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft, the first Voyager spacecraft to launch, departed on a journey that would make it the only spacecraft to have visited Uranus and Neptune and the longest operating NASA spacecraft ever. Voyager 2 and its twin Voyager 1 that launched sixteen days later on Sept. 5, 1977, are still going strong, hurtling away from our sun. Mission managers are eagerly anticipating the day when they break on through to the other side -- the space between stars. - YouTube

I wish the names Voyager and Janeway weren't related in any way. Unfortunately at the mere mention of Voyager I am instantly reminded of her grating voice...

That's not as bad as Voyager being associated with Star Trek: The Motion Picture.

How is it powered?

I don't care what other people think, exploration into space and the depths of the ocean is the coolest.

Open the slipstream already!

radioisotope thermoelectric generator

[edit] I'm pretty sure this is the same technology powering the Curiosity rover on Mars.
