Launched in the year 2371, the Intrepid-class Federation starship USS Voyager was a ship built to return to Starfleet's founding principle of scientific exploration. It was fitting that the ship's captain, Kathryn Janeway, rose up through the science ranks rather than command. On the ship's ...
Voyager 1 is the first spacecraft to travel beyond the solar system and reach interstellar space. The probe launched on Sept. 5, 1977 — about two weeks after its twin Voyager 2— and as of August 2022 is approximately 14.6 billion miles (23.5 billion kilometers) away from our planet, ...

Voyager 1’s twin, Voyager 2 (currently 12.1 billion miles, or 19.5 billion kilometers, from Earth), continues to operate normally.Launched in 1977, both Voyagers have operated far longer than mission planners expected, and are the only spacecraft to collect data in interstellar space. The ...
Voyager 2, which looks an awful lot like Voyager 1, actually launched 16 days before its counterpart, on Aug. 20, 1977. Voyager 1 just happened to get farther faster because it had a more efficient route out of the asteroid belt, officially overtaking its partner on Dec. 15, 1977 and ...
In 1977 Voyager 2, the most ambitious of all space-craft, was launched toward the outer planets. Patrick Moore sums up what Voyager has told us, and goes on a grand tour of the outer solar system. Producer Pieter Morpurgo See all filmmakers & crew (1) Status Edit Released Updated...
In 1957, one year after Stone entered graduate school at the University of Chicago, the then Soviet Union launched Sputnik 1, the world’s first human-made space satellite. The space race was on, and advances in propulsion technology paved the way for scientific exploration above and beyond Ea...

“When the Voyagers launched in 1977, the space age was all of 20 years old. Many of us on the team dreamed of reaching interstellar space, but we really had no way of knowing how long a journey it would be — or if these two vehicles that we invested so much time and energy in ...
