A Detailed Model of the Voyager 1 Spacecraft The Voyager 1 spacecraft is a robotic space probe designed to explore the outer reaches of our solar system. Currently, it holds the record for being the farthest human-made object from Earth, traveling away from both our planet and the Sun at an incredible speed that leaves all other probes in its wake.

A Brief History of Voyager 1 As of February 1, 2009, Voyager 1 had traveled an astonishing 108.60 AU (16.247 billion km or 10.095 billion miles) away from the Sun. At this point, it had entered the heliosheath, a vast region where the Sun's influence begins to fade, marking the boundary between our solar system and interstellar space. The Current Mission Voyager 1's ultimate goal is to reach and study the heliopause, the known boundary of our stellar system. If it successfully completes this passage while still functioning, scientists will finally gain direct measurements of the conditions in the interstellar medium, potentially shedding new light on the origin and nature of the Universe. A New Era in Space Exploration Voyager 1 is on a hyperbolic trajectory, meaning its orbit will not return to the inner solar system. Alongside other notable space probes like Pioneer 10, Pioneer 11, Voyager 2, and New Horizons, it has achieved escape velocity, paving the way for interstellar exploration.
