Há 5 dias · On February 17, 1998, Voyager 1 overtook the space probe Pioneer 10 (launched 1972) to become the most distant human-made object in space. By 2004 both Voyagers were well beyond the orbit of Pluto. In 2012 the Voyagers became the longest-operating spacecraft, having functioned for 35 years and still periodically transmitting data.

Há 2 dias · But on Nov. 14, Voyager 1 suddenly stopped sending any data back to Earth. While it remained in radio contact, the transmission had, as NASA engineers put it, “flatlined.”
Há 5 dias · Therefore, although the initial output of the RTGs on Voyager was approximately 470 W of 30 V DC power at launch, it had fallen off to approximately 335 W by the beginning of 1997 (about 19.5 years post-launch). As power continues to decrease, power loads on the spacecraft must also decrease.
Há 5 dias · Voyager 1's launch finally happened on 05 Sept. 1977 and was termed "flawless and accurate". Although launched sixteen days after Voyager 2, Voyager 1's trajectory was the quicker one to Jupiter.
Há 3 dias · The distance of Voyager 2 from Earth is currently 20,367,221,741 kilometers, equivalent to 136.146468 Astronomical Units . Light takes 18 hours, 52 minutes and 17.7389 seconds to travel from Voyager 2 and arrive to us. Distance Kilometers 20,367,221,741. Distance AU 136.146468.
Há 2 dias · This page shows Voyager 1 location and other relevant astronomical data in real time. The celestial coordinates, magnitude, distances and speed are updated in real time and are computed using high quality data sets provided by the JPL Horizons ephemeris service (see acknowledgements for details).
Há 6 dias · Voyager 1 ' s closest approach occurred in November 1980 at a distance of 64,200 km (39,900 mi). A failed photopolarimeter prevented Voyager 1 from observing Saturn's rings at the planned resolution; nevertheless, images from the spacecraft provided unprecedented detail of the ring system and revealed the existence of the G ring.
