VOYAGER, NASA’s Longest-Lived Mission, Logs 45 Years in Space 17.8.2022 VIDEO: This visualization tracks the trajectory of the Voyager 1 spacecraft through the solar system. Launched on September 5, 1977, it was one of two spacecraft sent to visit the giant planets of the outer solar system. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn before being directed out of the solar system. To fit the 40 year history of the mission into a short visualization, the pacing of time accelerates through most of the mo

In March 1979, two NASA space probes, Voyager-1 and Voyager-2, moved along a trajectory near one of Jupiter’s moons, Europa, as part of the solar system exploration program. At a distance of 118,000 miles (190,000 km) from the moon's surface, Voyager-2 took a number of high-quality images and conducted measurements that led scientists to hypothesize the existence of a liquid ocean beneath the thick ice shell of the moon. All subsequent research, including the data collected by the Galileo space
