    Voyage 1

    Voyager 1 was launched on 5 of September of 1977.

  • Crossing with the orbits of the planets of Voyage 1

    Voyage 1 entered Jupiter's orbit on 5 of March of 1979

  • Approach to planets and discoveries made in their environment of voyage 1

    Voyage 1's approach was 348,890km from the center of Jupiter, discovering a faint ring and a new satellite. It transmits images showing the complex and swirling turbulence of Jupiter's atmosphere. Found 9 active volcanoes erupting on the innermost of Jupiter's major moons

  • Crossing with the orbits of the planets of Voyage 2

    Voyage 2 entered Jupiter's orbit on 9 of July of 1979

  • Approach to planets and discoveries made in their environment of voyage 2

    Voyage 2's approach was 721,670 km from the center of Jupiter. He discovered a thin, dusty ring around Jupiter and that 8 of the 9 volcanoes were still active 4 months later

  • Crossing with the orbits of the planets of Voyage 1

    Entered Saturn on 12 of November of 1980.

  • Approach to planets and discoveries made in their environment of voyage 1

    Voyage 1's approach was 184,300 km from the center of Saturn. It took high-resolution images to help determine the ring's dynamics and composition, discovered intricate patterns within the ring system, and observed variations among Saturn's many moons.

  • Changes of direction in its trajectory of voyager 1

    After the conclusion of its encounter with Saturn, Voyager 1 left the ecliptic at an angle of about 30º and traveled towards the heliopause.

    Voyage 2's approach was 29,240 km from the center of Neptune. Discovered 6 new moons

  • Changes of direction in its trajectory of Voyage 2

    After the conclusion of its encounter with Neptune, Voyager 2 left the ecliptic at an angle of about -30º.

  • Actual position of voyager 1

    Voyager 1 is currently 22.742 million km from Earth. This distance is equivalent to 21.04 light years

  • Actual position of voyager 2

    Although many of its instruments are out of service, it still continues to survey the surrounding solar system.
