Voyager's mission: The story of an perky spacepro

At the beginning of human civilization, a primitive man looked at the sky and said, what is beyond the clouds? They glanced up at the sky with their bare eyes and saw the flashing lights of the black sky in a new light. Astronomy, as we know it today, began three centuries ago on Earth. The telescope was invented by Galileo Galilei, who began the telescope period. As a consequence, scientists have a fresh perspective on the sky. Then there was the telescope that was more sophisticated.

But the problem is that no planet can be well observed with these telescopes. As a result, humans need probes or robotic spacecraft. We already know what is on the other side of the cloud. However, in the middle of the last century, no one would have dared to dream of crossing the limits of the sun into distant space. But we have achieved that through the Voyager mission.

On September 5, 1977, Voyager I and Voyager II were launched. Voyager I was launched from the United States' Cape Canaveral Air Force Station. The rocket used was a Titan IIIE. In the 1960's, the US space agency, NASA, undertook a special project to observe Mercury, Venus, and Mars. As part of this, it was decided to send two Voyager-1 and 2 spacecraft. At NASA 300 scientists were in charge of observing the spacecraft at the beginning of its journey.

Since 2004, just ten scientists have been in control of the organization's activities. Because Voyager is no longer in danger of becoming lost. The Voyager's shape is much like a UFO. A huge antenna may be seen above. On one side, there are cameras, and on the other, there are power generators that generate electricity from radioactive plutonium. It features some sensors for detecting the locations of stars and cosmic rays, but the technology is outdated.

On August 25, 2012, the first man-made object to cross the heliopause crossed the boundaries of the solar system. This achievement is certainly outstanding. The gyroscopic system for controlling the direction of the spacecraft will not work then. While collecting information, the system for storing it will also be shut down. Then comes the lonely journey through the Urt cloud. This journey may continue for 40,000 years. After 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will reach Goliath, with 445 stars within a few light-years.

Scientists think that 5-10% of the remote space is lighted, while the remaining 90%-95 percent is black. Voyager 1 is now functioning amid the endless blackness of space. Voyager 2 would be the brightest star on Earth to reach Sirius if it traveled at 40,000 miles per hour. Another noteworthy feature of the spaceship was that it included measures to showcase humanity to the aliens. Another interesting thing is that the spacecraft had steps to present mankind in front of the aliens. Because the spacecraft has a gold record of recording various languages and Earth images.

The robotic spacecraft named Voyager 1 is now running beyond the limits of the sun to get to the eternal constellation. The spacecraft is said to have completed its 46th anniversary in 2022. When it launched in 1977, the main purpose of the Voyager mission was to orbit Jupiter and Saturn. But the scientists in control of the mission thought more. After completing the mission, Voyager 1 started its journey into space in the eighties but changed the route of Voyager 2 by reprogramming it. As a result, Voyager 2 proceeded on its way to the planets Uranus and Neptune. When Voyager 2 was launched, it was sent in such a way that Uranus and Neptune could be added to its journey at a later time if desired. The Voyager 1, sent 16 days later, had a slightly shorter orbit. Voyager 1 arrived on Jupiter a few days ago, on March 5, 1979.

Voyager 1 flies over Jupiter at just a few million kilometers away. The image sent by Voyager 1 shows a massive storm in Jupiter's atmosphere. On January 24, 1986, Voyager 2 flew over Uranus. from a distance of only 801,500 kilometers. The rotation of Uranus is a bit different from other planets. until the arrival of Voyager 1 on November 12, 1980. When Voyager 1 arrives, it sends high-resolution images of Saturn's ring to Earth for the first time. Nine months after Voyager 1, Voyager 2 landed on Saturn on August 25, 1981. Observations of Voyager 2, which flew only 41,000 kilometers away from Saturn, revealed all the more startling information. As it flew over Neptune, Voyager 2 discovered that Neptune's wind speed was faster than anywhere else in the solar system, at least three times that of Jupiter.

Voyager's trajectorysource
After years of searching for many unknown mysteries in the solar system, the spacecraft once reached the end of the solar system. This world outside the solar system is the world between one star and another, which is called 'interstellar space'. A world completely cold, dark, and completely outside of the human experience. There is more cosmic effect on the spacecraft than the effect of the sun.

Voyager 1 is currently 23 billion kilometers or 155 AU away from Earth. Voyager 2, on the other hand, was comparatively small but 18 billion kilometers away and was the 4th spacecraft to reach the speed of the solar system. This distance is so great that NASA's Deep Space Network is needed to collect the signals they send. It takes 23 hours for light to come from where Voyager-1 is now. That means it will take 23 hours even if you go at the speed of light. Voyager 1 is still running at a speed of 60,000 kilometers per hour.
