News By Ben Turner last updated November 15, 2024 Voyager 2's 1986 flyby of Uranus, the main source of our knowledge of the icy planet, could have come at the same time as a weird plasma burst from the sun. When you purchase through links on our site, we...
The Voyager 2 spacecraft, hurtling toward its January 24, 1986, closest approach to Uranus, is sending several surprises back to earth. One is the discovery of another moon; the other is the absence of expected radio noise at a distance less than 800 times the planet's radius.As Eos ...
Navigating the upcoming Voyager 2 encounter with Uranus presents unique challenges and opportunities. Uranus will be the most distant planetary encounter carried out to date, with a 2.75 hour delay each way for communication. Furthermore, Voyager 2 is the most sophisticated spacecraft ever used for...
Uranus RingsIn January 1986, Voyager 2 will pass within 110,000 kilometers of the planet Uranus, nearly three billion kilometers from Earth. This will be man's first exploration of the seventh planet, its dark rings, satellites, and possible magnetosphere. At Uranus, Voyager 2 will have ...

Voyager 2’s primary mission was to fly by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, collecting data and sending it back to Earth. Built with 16 hydrazine thrusters, three-axis stabilization, gyroscopes and celestial referencing instruments, and three multihundred-Watt radioisotope thermoelectric generators...
Voyager 2 followed its sister craft to Jupiter and Saturn followed by encounters with Uranus and Neptune. In this view, the science boom, containing cameras and other instruments requiring pointing, is seen at right. The dominant feature at center, the 12-foot-diameter high-gain antenna, ...
A mission extension in 1981 allowed Voyager 2 to eventually fly past Uranus and Neptune, making it the only spacecraft yet to do so. Voyager 1 was high above the plane of the solar system after Saturn's flyby, but the spacecraft gathered valuable solar data from its trajectory because...

Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune. Its adventures in the outer solar system led to the discovery of new moons around the gas giant planets. Despite the age of the probe, NASA hopes to continue to collect data from it until at least 2025. ...
