Voyager robotic space probe

At the present the 2 space probes are still active, the general
mission of them is to study the outer solar system.
Both probes carry with them a gold disc with a selection of an
hour and a half long of music from various parts and cultures of
the world, greetings in 55 human languages, a greeting from the
then Secretary General of the United Nations and the essay
Sounds of the Earth, which is a mixture of sounds characteristic
of the planet
• There are 2 space probes with the same name, they
were launched in different years.
• Both had a tour of Jupiter and Saturn, but Voyager 2
is the only one that has visited the last planet:
Neptune.
• The Titan IIIE or Titan 3E, also known as Titan III-
Centaur was a disposable American launch vehicle.
Launched seven times between 1974 and 1977, it
allowed several high-profile missions from NASA,
including the Voyager and Viking planetary probes
and the West German US spacecraft Helios.
Voyager 2
• The first was the voyager 2 was
launched on August 20, 1977 from
Cabo Cañaveral, Florida
• Located at a distance of 106.6 AU
(1,595 × 1010 km) on November 2,
2014,1 it has become one of the most
distant objects that humans have
created.
• The Voyager 2 probe was launched
in order to take advantage of the
positions of Jupiter and Saturn, as
well as the then recent technique of
gravitational assistance. In this way,
the same mission could visit several
planets with the savings that this
entailed.
Voyager 1
• The second was Voyager 1
launched on September 5, 1977,
from Cabo Cañaveral, Florida.
• It was the first probe to provide
detailed images of the satellites
of these planets.2 At a distance of
141 astronomical units (21 093
318 000 km) from the Sun, in
June 2018,3 it is the spacecraft
farthest from the Earth and next
to Voyager 2 in interstellar space,
but still without leaving the solar
system, leaving approximately 17
702 years to go to the Oort cloud.
It will enter this in about 300
years.
After the mission
• On February 14, 1990, the cameras
of Voyager 1 operated for the last
time to take 64 emotive photographs,
a 'family portrait' of the planets of
the Solar System six billion kilometers
away, with the exception of Mercury
and Mars. , too weak to be caught at
that distance.
• As the power of the RTGs decreased,
the Voyagers turned off their
instruments one by one.
