Voyager - NASA Science
WEBVoyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2 are the only spacecraft ever to operate outside the heliosphere, the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields generated by the Sun. Voyager 1 reached the interstellar boundary in 2012, while Voyager 2 (traveling slower and in a different direction than its twin) reached it in 2018.

Voyager - 35 Years On, Voyager's Legacy Continues at Saturn
WEBAfter an initial flyby of Pioneer 11 in 1979, humanity got a second, much closer look at this complex planetary system in the early 1980s through the eyes of NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft. Voyager 2 made its closest approach to Saturn 35 years ago -- …
Evidence Seen For Wet Past on Ganymede, Jupiter's Largest Moon
WEBBright, flat terrain in long swaths on the surface of Jupiter's icy moon Ganymede may testify that water or slush emerged there about a billion years ago, say planetary scientists who have combined stereo images from NASA's Galileo and Voyager missions to examine provocative features on that moon.
Voyager - Voyager Maintenance from 7 Billion Miles Away
WEBThe answer, as the flight team for the Voyager Interstellar Mission recently demonstrated, is to plan ahead and keep top-notch engineers available. Last month, the team cautiously activated a backup position-sensing system, including a …
Voyager - Voyager 1 Light-Sensing Instrument Non-operational
WEBProject officials report light-sensing instrument aboard NASA's Voyager 1, that had difficulty during encounter with the planet Jupiter March 5th, has been confirmed as no longer being able to record useful data.

Voyager - Voyager Squashes View of Solar System - NASA
WEBScientists using data from NASA's Voyager 2 spacecraft have observed the bubble of solar wind surrounding the solar system is not round, but has a squashed shape, according to recent data published as part of a series of papers in this week's (July 3) Nature.
Voyager - Blast Wave Blows Through the Solar System - NASA
WEBA sort of timeline emerged tracking the largest of the related coronal mass ejections (CMEs) from the Sun all the way to Voyager 1 (expected to receive the shock blast sometime this month), then on to the heliopause which delineates our solar system from interstellar space.
New Project Manager as Voyager Explores New Territory
WEBVoyager 2 is expected to cross that boundary several years later. Once beyond our heliosheath, the two Voyager spacecraft will begin exploring the interstellar medium, which fills the space between stars. When Dodd started on Voyager, Voyager 2 …
