Wie lange war die Voyager unterwegs?
Die USS Voyager schaffte es, eine Strecke von annähernd 70.000 Lichtjahren innerhalb von ca. sechseinhalb Jahren zurückzulegen (Flug durch den Transwarpkanal mitgerechnet) – weiter und schneller war nur die USS Enterprise unter Captain Picard unterwegs.
Wie schnell fliegt die voyager1?
16 km/s
Die Sonde passierte die vier großen Monde des Jupiters in nur 30 Stunden. Insgesamt wurden während der Untersuchung des Jupitersystems 17.477 Bilder mit der maximalen Datenrate von 115,2 kbit/s übertragen. Voyager 1 wurde von Jupiter auf etwa 16 km/s beschleunigt.
What was the distance of the Voyager 2?
Voyager 2 was at a distance of 17.2 billion kilometers (115 AU). Voyager 1 is escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.6 AU per year. Voyager 2 is escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.3 AU per year. There are currently five science investigation teams participating in the Interstellar Mission.
When was Voyager 1 launched into the Solar System?
NASA’s Voyager 1 was launched after Voyager 2, but because of a faster route, it exited the asteroid belt earlier than its twin, having overtaken Voyager 2 on Dec. 15, 1977. It began its Jovian imaging mission in April 1978 when it was about 165 million miles (265 million kilometers) from the planet.
What was the message on the Voyager 1?
The message is carried by a phonograph record – -a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth. The contents of the record were selected for NASA by a committee chaired by Carl Sagan of Cornell University.
When did Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 cross the termination shock?
Voyager 1 crossed the termination shock in December 2004 at about 94 AU from the Sun while Voyager 2 crossed it in August 2007 at about 84 AU. Both spacecraft are now exploring the Heliosheath.
