“Voyager 1: Still Flying After 48 Years, But Where To Voyager 1, launched in 1977, is now the farthest human-made obiect from Earth, drifting through interstellar space at nearly 17 km/s (38,000 mph). In 48 years, it has traveled about 22 light-hours away - yet that’s still just a tiny step compared to the vastness of the universe. Scientists estimate it will take 30,000 years for Voyager 1 to finally cross the outer edge of the Oort Cloud, which some define as the true boundary of our solar sys

Voyager 1 Breaking boundaries of our Solarsystem. On September 5th 1977, Voyager 1 was launched. The spacecraft was launched from the Kennedy Space Center, and was expected to travel to the outer edges of our solar system. But Against All Odds, Voyager 1 managed to go beyond our solar system, becoming the first human-made object to enter Interstellar space after over 45 years. #voyager1 #nasa #spaxecraft #voyager2 #space #solarsystem #voyager #planets #astronomy #cosmos #spacetime | Secrets of S

🚀 The Little Spacecraft That Never Gave Up 🌌 Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 remains one of humanity’s greatest engineering triumphs — still exploring deep space nearly 50 years later. Now drifting more than 15 billion miles from Earth, this legendary probe continues to send back faint whispers from the edge of interstellar space, powered by technology from another era. With just 69 kilobytes of memory, an 8-track tape recorder, and software written in Fortran, Voyager 1 was only meant to last fiv

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
