Voyager Program | Estateplanning | Vibepedia.Network

The Voyager program is a groundbreaking American scientific program that has been exploring the outer Solar System and interstellar space since 1977. The program consists of two interstellar probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, which were launched to take advantage of a favorable planetary alignment to explore the gas giants Jupiter and Saturn, and potentially the ice giants Uranus and Neptune. With a combined cost of $865 million, the Voyager program has far exceeded its initial objectives, providing invaluable data on the outer Solar System, the heliosphere, and interstellar space. As of 2022, Voyager 1 has traveled over 14.2 billion miles from Earth, while Voyager 2 has traveled over 12.1 billion miles, making them the most distant human-made objects in space. The program has been managed by the [[nasa|NASA]] Jet Propulsion Laboratory, with significant contributions from [[caltech|Caltech]], [[stanford-university|Stanford University]], and other institutions.
