Voyager at 45: NASA’s longest and farthest explorers (Live Q&A)

Streamed live on Aug 30, 2022

Launched in 1977, the twin Voyager probes are NASA’s longest-operating mission and the only spacecraft ever to explore interstellar space. For two decades after launch, the spacecraft were planetary explorers, giving us up-close views of the gas giants Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Now, as they reach distances far beyond the hopes of their original designers, the aging spacecraft challenge their team in new ways, requiring creative solutions to keep them operating and sending back science data from the space between the stars.

As we celebrate the 45th anniversary of these epic explorers, join Voyager deputy project scientist Linda Spilker and propulsion engineer Todd Barber for a live Q&A.

Vintage NASA: Voyager’s 1990 ‘Family Portrait’ News Conference

Sep 4, 2025

On June 6, 1990, following the conclusion of Voyager’s planetary explorations, mission representatives held a news conference at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California to summarize key findings and answer questions from the media.

In the briefing, Voyager’s longtime project scientist Ed Stone, along with renowned science communicator Carl Sagan, also revealed the mission’s “Solar System Family Portrait,” a mosaic comprising images of six of the solar system’s eight planets. Carl Sagan was a member of the Voyager imaging team and instrumental in capturing these images and bringing them to the public.

These groundbreaking images, including the iconic “Pale Blue Dot” image of Earth, were taken by Voyager 1 on Feb. 14, 1990, when the spacecraft was beyond the orbit of Neptune — about 3.7 billion miles (6 billion kilometers) from the Sun.

Nearly a half-century after their 1977 launches, Voyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2 are still exploring, only now in interstellar space.
