Launch Dates: August 20, 1977 & September 5, 1977 (Voyager 2 was launched first)
Target: Jupiter, Saturn, Neptune, and Uranus, their moons, and interstellar space
The twin Voyager spacecraft were launched in 1975 to conduct studies of Jupiter, Saturn, Saturn's rings, and the larger moons of both planets. The five year mission extended to twelve years, allowing the spacecraft to explore not only Jupiter and Saturn, but also Uranus, Neptune, and a total of 48 of the gas giants' moons.
Like the Pioneers 10 and 11 spacecraft before them, both Voyager spacecraft are leaving the solar system to explore interstellar space. This new leg of the journey called the Voyager Interstellar Mission. Each carries a golden phonograph record with the images and sounds of Earth to communicate the story of our planet to extraterrestrials.
