Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are on trajectories that will one day cause them to exit the solar system, but they are both still within its accepted boundaries.

What is the purpose of voyager 1 and 2?

Voyager 1 and 2 were launched by NASA to study the outer planets of our solar system. Their primary mission was to gather data and images of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Both spacecraft have continued traveling beyond the solar system to study interstellar space.


Was the voyager manned?

No, the Voyager mission involved two space probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, which were unmanned spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 to explore the outer planets of our solar system. The probes have continued to travel beyond the solar system into interstellar space.


Where is voyager 1 in your solar system?

It is exiting our solar system.


What were the first two space probes to leave your solar system?

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. There is a matter of some debate as to whether the two Voyager probes have actually left the solar system, an where the "edge" of the solar system actually is. Both are beyond the orbit of Pluto, but have not passed beyond the vaguely-defined Kuiper Belt, and the two probes are just approaching the heliopause, the boundary layer between the solar wind and the broader currents of interstellar space. But it seems likely that however that boundary is defined, the two Voyager probes either were or will be the first man-made objects to pass it.


What are the Voyagers?

The Voyager spacecrafts are two space probes launched by NASA in 1977 to explore the outer planets of our solar system. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have provided valuable data and images of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and continue to travel beyond our solar system into interstellar space.


Where has the farthest traveling satellites gone?

The farthest traveling human-made objects are the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft, launched by NASA in 1977. As of now, Voyager 1 is over 14 billion miles (about 23 billion kilometers) from Earth and has entered interstellar space, traveling beyond the influence of our solar system. Voyager 2 has also crossed into interstellar space and is more than 11 billion miles (about 18 billion kilometers) away. Both spacecraft continue to send back valuable scientific data about the outer planets and the interstellar medium.


Has the Voyager spacecraft left your solar system?

No. Both voyager 1 and 2 are on their way out of our solar system and will eventually escape one day. They have gone well beyond the furthest planet Neptune, but the solar system extends out much further, with the sun have a gravitational effect on objects as far out as 50,000 astronomical units or so. The voyager space craft has got out as far as 116 astronomical units so far.


What is the furthest you have rockets in space?

The furthest rockets have traveled in space are those used for missions beyond our solar system, such as the Voyager probes. Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has reached interstellar space and continues to send back data from beyond our Sun's influence.


Missions that explored the outer Solar system?

Voyager I and Voyager II although they were not planned to.


Is it possible to leave the solar system?

With current technology, a human could not leave the solar system and live. However the space probe Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has entered interstellar space after traveling for more than 30 years.


Have any human probe left your solar system and gone into interstellar space?

Voyager One and Voager Two have both passed beyond the orbit of Pluto.


Is voyager a satellite?

Voyager is a spacecraft probe. It is not a satellite. NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft launched in August and September 1977. Voyager 1 focused on Jupiter and Saturn., while Voyager 2 flew past Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
