The Voyager probes are two robotic spacecraft, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, launched by NASA in 1977. Their primary mission was to explore the outer planets of our solar system, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Both probes provided valuable data and stunning images, significantly enhancing our understanding of these distant worlds.
After completing their primary missions, the Voyager probes continued to travel into interstellar space. They are now the farthest human-made objects from Earth, sending back data about cosmic rays and magnetic fields. The probes carry the Golden Record, a message to potential extraterrestrial life, showcasing the diversity of life and culture on Earth.
