That changed when Star Trek: Voyager went fully CGI for certain types of shots midway through Season 3 ( late 1996 ).

* December 23 – Voyager completes the first nonstop circumnavigation of the earth by air without refueling in 9 days, 3 minutes and 44 seconds.

* 14. 7 Tm — 98. 3 AU — Distance to Voyager 1 in March 2006

* Voyager 1 at 106. 3 AU as of July 2008, traveling outward at about 3. 6 AU / year

* Voyager 2 at 85. 49 AU as of July 2008, traveling outward at about 3. 3 AU / year

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.

It was discovered from the images taken by Voyager 2 on 9 January 1986, and was given the temporary designation S / 1986 U 3.

It was discovered from the images taken by Voyager 2 on 3 January 1986, and was given the temporary designation S / 1986 U 2.

The one farthest from the Sun is Voyager 1, which is more than 100 AU distant and is moving at 3. 6 AU per year.

Voyager supports HTML 3. 2 and some HTML 4, JavaScript, frames, SSL, Flash, and various other Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator features.

In May 1999 Oliver Wagner of VaporWare gave details of the upcoming Voyager 3 to Amiga Format, with planned new features including support for Javascript, DOM ( based on Internet Explorer's model ), and CSS.

In August 2009, Voyager 1 was over 16. 5 billion km from the Sun and traveling at a speed of 3. 5 AU per year ( approximately 61, 000 km / h, or 38, 000 mph ) while Voyager 2 was well over 13 billion km away and moving at about 3. 3 AU per year ( approximately 56, 000 km / h, or 35, 000 mph ).

As of July 28th, 2012, Voyager 1 is over 120. 8 AU ( 18. 16 billion kms or 11. 3 billion miles ) from the Sun, and is in the boundary zone between the Solar System and interstellar space.

Relevant episodes of Star Trek: Voyager in which Species 8472 appear include season 3 episode 26 ( season finale ) " Scorpion: Part 1 " and season 4 episode 1 ( season premiere ) " Scorpion: Part 2 ", season 4 episode 16 " Prey ", and season 5 episode 4 " In the Flesh ".

In Star Trek: Voyager the holodeck was used extensively because ( 1 ) a crew isolated from their homes required more frequent diversion, ( 2 ) the holographic Doctor could, in the early seasons, be located only in the Sick Bay or one of the holodecks, ( 3 ) one of the main characters, Tom Paris, was by nature and calling a writer ( holonovelist ) -- he only joined Star Fleet because his father, Admiral Paris, forced him to.

* 1995: Plymouth's lineup is at its all-time low, just 3 cars: the Acclaim, the Neon, and the Voyager / Grand Voyager.

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.

He continued to refine his designs ; the most elaborate message he helped to develop and assemble was the Voyager Golden Record that was sent out with the Voyager space probes in 1977.

* The Borg from Star Trek, including Seven of Nine from Star Trek: Voyager, a human who was assimilated into a drone and later severed from the collective.

In another Voyager episode, " Hope and Fear ", a xenon-based life-form was mentioned.

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 HIC was in effect a repackaged and updated version of some parts of the flight spare of the Voyager Cosmic Ray System.

Alexander appeared on Star Trek: Voyager on the episode " Think Tank " playing a genius alien named Kurros who was trying to get Seven of Nine to serve on his ship.

In 2002, Virgin Trains ' new £ 5m high speed Super Voyager train number 221130 was named " Michael Palin " – it carries his name externally and a plaque is located adjacent to the onboard shop with information on Palin and his many journeys.

In 1942, Steiner won his second Oscar for Now, Voyager, and was also nominated for Casablanca, which remains one of his most famous scores.

As the program progressed, the name was later changed to Voyager, as the probe designs began to differ greatly from previous Mariner missions.

The DKW Schnellaster, manufactured from 1949 to 1962 was a small monospace ( or one-box ) design featuring its front wheels set forward of the passenger cabin, a short, sloping aerodynamic hood, front-wheel drive, transverse engine, flat load floor throughout with flexible seating and cargo accommodations – the key design ingredients that describe the modern minivan configuration popularized in such notable examples as the Renault Espace and Chrysler Voyager / Caravan minivans.

The Toyota Van and Dodge Caravan / Plymouth Voyager featured very different structural designs: the Dodge Caravan / Plymouth Voyager had a FF layout and unibody construction, while the Toyota Van Wagon featured a FMR layout and was built on a body-on-frame chassis.

At the launch of OS / 2 Warp in 1994, Patrick Stewart was to be the Master of Ceremonies ; however Kate Mulgrew of the then-upcoming series Star Trek: Voyager was substituted at the last minute.

The search was largely abandoned in the early 1990s, when a study of measurements made by the Voyager 2 spacecraft found that the irregularities observed in Uranus's orbit were due to a slight overestimation of Neptune's mass.

For visual effects, Ronald B. Moore, who had previously worked on TNG and Voyager, was brought in.

The senior staff of Voyager include Captain Kathryn Janeway ( Kate Mulgrew ), who commands the ship ; Commander ( field commission ) Chakotay ( Robert Beltran ), her first officer, who joined from the Maquis ; Lt. Tuvok ( Tim Russ ) ( later rising to the rank of Lieutenant Commander ), the Security / Tactical officer ; Ensign Harry Kim ( Garrett Wang ), the Operations Officer ; Lt JG ( junior grade ) ( field commission ) B ' Elanna Torres ( Roxann Dawson ), Chief Engineer ; Lt. JG ( falling to ensign as a result of demotion but later rising in rank to full lieutenant ) Tom Paris ( Robert Duncan McNeill ), Helm Officer ; as well as several noncommissioned personnel, the Emergency Medical Hologram ( Robert Picardo ) as the Chief Medical Officer, Neelix ( Ethan Phillips ) as the ship's cook and later Voyager's ambassador, Kes ( Jennifer Lien ) as the EMH's Medical Assistant, and Seven of Nine ( Jeri Ryan ), who plays several roles, generally in Astrometrics or Engineering.

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.

While they are generally not credited, they were the first of many successful front-wheel drive models, such as the Dodge Aries / Plymouth Reliant and the Dodge Caravan / Plymouth Voyager which helped return Chrysler to profitability.

Regent ships generally have large rooms ( the line's Voyager and Mariner are described as the world's first and second " all-suite, all-balcony cruise ship ").

Lasting eleven years before being merged with The WB network to become The CW in 2006, UPN would feature many of the shows it originally produced for other networks, and would take numerous gambles on series such as Star Trek: Voyager, and Star Trek: Enterprise that would have otherwise either gone direct-to-cable or become first-run syndication to independent stations across the country.

In 1995, Viacom and Chris-Craft Industries ' United Television launched United Paramount Network ( UPN ) with Star Trek: Voyager as its flagship series, fulfilling Barry Diller's plan for a Paramount network from 25 years earlier.

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.

It has yet to be revealed whether this had any bearing on the decision to cancel the program since Voyager was offered to syndication midway through its run with no impact on its network status, and TNG, DS9, and Voyager all saw episodes released to home video during their runs, long before those series ended.

In the Voyager episode, " Non Sequitur ," Tom Paris ' alternate self ( in the parallel dimension ) relates to Harry Kim a story about how, during a stop at Deep Space Nine, he got in a bar fight with a Ferengi and was thrown in the brig by " a very unpleasant shapeshifter ", obviously referring to Odo.

During the course of the TV series, Voyager has contact with the Q Continuum on three occasions, and repeated contact with the Borg.

However, during the episode " The Killing Game ," in which the Hirogen had taken over Voyager and forced the crew to participate in holodeck recreations of various combat situations which included World War II Europe, the holodeck character played by B ' Elanna Torres is portrayed as pregnant with a Nazi officer's child.

In 2371, B ' Elanna Torres joined the Voyager crew with the rest of the Maquis from the Val Jean, as Captain Kathryn Janeway offers them the opportunity.

In an alternate timeline where Voyager made it home by different means, Miral was shown as an adult serving in Starfleet, with the rank of ensign.

Captain Kathryn Janeway, the commanding officer of Voyager, offered the Val Jean crew a chance to serve on her ship, and appointed Chakotay as her first officer with the provisional rank of Lieutenant Commander ( in episode " Caretaker ").

Chakotay becomes increasingly agitated with the situation and eventually leaves the ship, turning over command of Voyager to a new captain, Afsarah Eden.

In the series pilot, Kes is taken on board the USS Voyager crew with her partner, Neelix, who was responsible for rescuing her from the Kazon.

During her time aboard Voyager, Kes develops a close friendship with the Doctor while working as his assistant medical technician.

She can no longer remain with Voyager, but before leaving, she uses her newly acquired powers to hurl Voyager and crew safely beyond Borg space, 9, 500 light-years closer to Earth.

The marooning of Voyager in the Delta Quadrant provided Paris with a new beginning.

In the episode " Q2 ", which is the last televised appearance of Q, Q appears on Voyager with his immature, rebellious son, who appears as a human teenager ( played by John de Lancie's real-life son Keegan de Lancie, and referred to in the novels as " Little Q " or " q ").

However, Voyager does not always deal with the unknown.
