Voyager 1 launched on this date 46 years ago.

That's several weeks after Voyager 2, which needed a head start: Voyager 1 quickly overtook the other craft and is still the fastest moving object created by humans.

La plus impressionnante des sondes est sans contexte Voyager, sans doute parce qu'elle est à l'échelle 1:1. L'antenne grand gain est énorme ! Génial de voir tous les instruments et les 3 RTG.
On retrouve une réplique du Golden Record et du disque The Sounds of Earth. 28/37

This is what's possible when you don't build with planned obsolescence.

46 years and still treading the solar system.

This has been available for very long time, but I always love to see that every second we get 20 bytes (160 bits) from Voyager 1 thanks to the Deep Space Network…

Our friend among the stars just earned another year to its storied lifespan. Maybe, just maybe, it’ll live to see it’s 50th year in space. Such an inspiration.

Glenn thanks so much for this. As a kangaroo carer in outback Australia I frequently find cause to look at how far the two Voyagers are from us thanks to the JPL website.

For bored Millennials who find this and suggest tl:dr, maybe it would be good to give folks a few pointers on the brilliance of the mission/s.

Things like those science instruments are being talked to from here and are responding from there to here. Billions of miles away. How long does the communication take to travel end to end and how big are the packets of data that tell the scientists what is happening to the birds and what they are finding as they travel?

Things like the computers driving the process measure their grunt in kilobytes not petabytes. What were they? 64k from memory?

And the opportunity when confronted by a gen z youngster about our old age knowledge, to share that people in the 70s were sending signals between planets and rocks and all the other hard and soft pieces making up the universe and the solar system, before the word internet has been coined.

Thank you for your post.

Did not know: last October saw a gamma-ray burst about 19 hours before it was detected on earth.

Beeindruckend, einfach nur beeindruckend was die noch mit und schafft. 😲

Die ist und bleibt für mich eine faszierende und fesselnde Wissenschaft.

Memo an mich:
Mal wieder die Zeitschrift "Space" besorgen.

In about 40,000 years, Voyager 2 will drift within 1.7 light-years (9.7 trillion miles) of Ross 248, a star in the constellation of Andromeda.
