Druyan was responsible for the selection of the music on the Voyager Golden Record for the pioneering exploratory missions of the Solar System — Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.

Two other satellites made observations at the time of the impact: the Ulysses spacecraft, primarily designed for solar observations, was pointed towards Jupiter from its location 2. 6 AU away, and the distant Voyager 2 probe, some 44 AU from Jupiter and on its way out of the Solar System following its encounter with Neptune in 1989, was programmed to look for radio emission in the 1 – 390 kHz range.

For example in 1979 The Voyager 1 and The Voyager 2 spotted 9 erupting volcanoes while passing Io.

The camera system was designed to obtain images of Jupiter's satellites at resolutions from 20 to 1, 000 times better than Voyager's best, because Galileo flew closer to the planet and its inner moons, and because the more modern CCD sensor in Galileos camera was more sensitive and had a broader color detection band than the vidicons of Voyager.

The four most distant spacecraft ( Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 ) are on course to leave the Solar System.

The planned Mariner 11 and Mariner 12 vehicles evolved into Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 of the Voyager program, while the Viking 1 and Viking 2 Mars orbiters were enlarged versions of the Mariner 9 spacecraft.

The Voyager program launched Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.

In approximately 40, 000 years Voyager 1 probe will pass within 1. 6 light years of the star AC + 79 3888, which is located in Ophiuchus.

These were the Pioneer plaque and the Voyager Golden Record records, all of which were spinoffs of Sagan's memories of the World Fair.

Sedna's orbit ( left ) is longer than 100 Tm, but other lengths are between 10 and 100 Tm: Comet Hale-Bopp's orbit ( lower, faint orange ); one light-day ( yellow spherical shell with yellow Vernal point arrow as radius ); the heliosphere's Heliosphere # Termination shock | termination shock ( blue shell ); and other arrows show positions of Voyager 1 ( red ) and Pioneer 10 ( green ).

Only a handful of interstellar probes, such as Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and New Horizons, are currently on trajectories that leave our Solar System.

Location and approximate trajectories of Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft as of April 4, 2007

During the 1990s, Voyager 1 overtook the slower deep-space probes Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 to become the most distant manmade object from Earth, a record that it will keep for the foreseeable future.

While the Voyager and Pioneer probes have traveled into local interstellar space, they are not generally considered starships because they have not traveled to other stars and also because they are not vessels.

The yellow shell indicating one light-day distance from the Sun compares in size with the positions of Voyager 1 and Pioneer 10 ( red and green arrows respectively ).

During the 1970s and 80s, he reported on the Voyager and Pioneer programes, often from NASA headquarters.

As such, they were used with Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Galileo, Ulysses, Cassini, New Horizons and the Mars Science Laboratory.

* 1960-1985: Van Allen, his colleagues, associates and students at The University of Iowa continued to fly scientific instruments on sounding rockets, Earth satellites ( Explorer 52 / Hawkeye 1 ), and interplanetary spacecraft including the first missions ( Pioneer program, Mariner program, Voyager program, Galileo spacecraft ) to the planets Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

The two Pioneer Plaques and the two Voyager Golden Records have been attached to spacecraft for the possible benefit of spacefarers in the distant future.

At this time Pioneer 6 had operated for 12, 758 days, making it the oldest operating space probe until it was surpassed by Voyager 2 on August 13, 2012.

These probes are Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11 and New Horizons, all launched by the United States.

* November 10 – November 12 – Voyager program: The NASA space probe Voyager I makes its closest approach to Saturn, when it flies within 77, 000 miles of the planet's cloud-tops and sends the first high resolution images of the world back to scientists on Earth.

Distances of more than 10 billion kilometres have been covered, e. g. by Voyager 1.

On December 10, 2007, instruments on board Voyager 2 sent data back to Earth indicating that the solar system is asymmetrical.

It has also reached the termination shock, about 10 billion miles from where Voyager 1 first crossed it, and is traveling outward at roughly 3. 3 AU per year.

In August 2009 Voyager 1 was over 16. 5 terameters ( 16. 5 meters, or 16. 5 km, 110. 7 AU, or 10. 2 billion miles ) from the Sun, and thus had entered the heliosheath region between the solar wind's termination shock and the heliopause ( the limit of the solar wind ).

On June 10, 2011, scientists studying the Voyager data noticed what may be giant magnetic bubbles located in the heliosphere, the region of our solar system that separates us from the violent solar winds of interstellar space.

Pioneers 10 and 11, which were launched in 1972 and 1973 and preceded Voyager in outstripping the gravitational attraction of the Sun, both carried small metal plaques identifying their time and place of origin for the benefit of any other spacefarers that might find them in the distant future.

The technique was first proposed as a mid-course manoeuvre in 1961, and used by interplanetary probes from Mariner 10 onwards, including the two Voyager probes ' notable fly-bys of Jupiter and Saturn.

In August 1983, Irving Azoff signed Barry to the MCA Records for North America, Gibb was signed for a few million dollars to a multi-album deal, but in the end the MCA released only one album called Now Voyager, released in 1984 ( His third solo album Moonlight Madness was rejected by MCA ) The first single released on the album " Shine, Shine " it reached No. 34 in the US and reached No. 10 in the US Adult Contemporary Charts, the second single " Fine Line " did not chart in US or UK.

In 2011, with the closure of RAF Lyneham and the transfer of the RAF's Hercules force to Brize Norton, it was announced that No. 10 Squadron would be reformed in 2012 as the first operator of the new Airbus Voyager due to enter service in late 2011.

A prime example of this are the two crafts of the Voyager program, which used slingshot effects to change trajectories several times in the outer Solar System.

Neptune's rings are very unusual in that they first appeared to be composed of incomplete arcs in Earth-based observations, but Voyager 2's images showed them to be complete rings with bright clumps.

The Maquis ship is destroyed while fighting the Kazon-Ogla, and although Voyager survives, there are numerous casualties.

In the ride, Janeway leads Voyager to the rescue of ride participants who are ostensibly trapped first on a space station and later on a shuttlecraft that come under attack by a Borg Cube commanded by the Borg Queen.

In the American Star Trek science-fiction franchise, the Maquis are a 24th Century paramilitary organization or terrorist group first introduced in the 1994 episode " The Maquis " of the television series Star Trek: Deep Space Nine, who subsequently also appeared in Star Trek: The Next Generation and Star Trek: Voyager.

Today, Yamato releases, including the Voyager Entertainment DVD, are marketed either as Star Blazers or Space Battleship Yamato.

In late 2003 Voyager 1 began sending data that seemed to indicate it had crossed the termination shock, but interpretations of these data are in dispute, and it was later believed that the termination shock was crossed in December 2004.

In the Star Trek: Voyager episode " Repression ", Humans and Vulcans are shown drinking a Vulcan alcoholic drink called " Vulcan Brandy ".

In the episode " Gravity " of Star Trek: Voyager, Tuvok explains that Vulcans ' natural emotions are " erratic and volatile "; if Vulcans do not strongly repress emotions, they can get violently angry in an instant.

The Borg are a major source of technological upgrades conducted on Voyager.

Cargo Bay 2 is equipped with several Borg alcoves when Captain Janeway forms an alliance with the Borg and several Borg are forced to work aboard Voyager during the alliance.

The dates listed are launch dates, but the achievements noted may have occurred some time laterin some cases, a considerable time later ( for example, Voyager 2, launched 20 August 1977, did not reach Neptune until 1989 ).

( Other fan fiction described as Captain Proton stories are Star Trek: Voyager stories whose action happens partly in Voyager's holodeck where the Captain Proton program is running.

The Voyager Golden Records are phonograph records which were included aboard both Voyager spacecraft, which were launched in 1977.

The Voyager spacecrafts are not heading towards any particular star, but Voyager 1 will be within 1. 6 light years of the star AC + 79 3888 in the Ophiuchus constellation in about 40, 000 years.
