What date and country did voyager probe go out of the solar system?

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have both left the heliosphere, but neither has left the solar system. The edge of the solar system is considered to be the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, The exact width of the Oort Cloud is not known, but its estimated that it would take Voyager 2 about 300 years to reach the inner boundary of it. To reach the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, truly leaving the solar system, would take Voyager 2 something like 30,000 years.

∙ 13y agoNether have left the Solar System just yet. Voyager 1 is the farthest. It entered the Heliosheath in 2005 and not expected to hit the Heliopause (the boundary of the Solar System) before 2015.

∙ 11y agoCountry??? Anything in outer space doesn't correspond to a particular country. The Voyager probes were, of course, launched by the United States, which is the only context in which "country" could possibly have any meaning in this case.
Also, "out of the solar system" is nebulous enough that it's difficult to assign a precise date. It's not like there's a sign out there reading "Now Leaving the Solar System, Please Come Again." About the best we can do is say that on December 8, 2004 Voyager 1 passed the "termination shock" where the solar wind slows to subsonic speeds, and some time in June 2010 the outward velocity of the solar wind dropped to zero (and has consistently been zero since, so it wasn't a random fluctuation). Either of these could be taken as "leaving the Solar system". It's still, however, in the heliosheath, the outermost edges of the Sun's atmosphere and not in the interstellar medium itself, which it's predicted to enter some time between now and 2015.

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 do you call the tiny part of our galaxy in our solar system?
"Our solar system." The "part of our galaxy" that's in our solar system is the solar system.
How is Sirius star different from all the other objects in the solar system?
Sirius is not part of our Solar System, so it is not appropriate to talk about "other objects in the solar system".
What does the word solar refer to in the term solar system?
Solar is the planet that rotates
What type of solar system is ours spiral?
I believe you are confusing a solar system with a galaxy. Our galaxy contains several hundred billions stars, i.e., solar systems.I believe you are confusing a solar system with a galaxy.

How did Gravity Assist help the voyager space probe navigate the solar system?
By the gravity pull
What was the first planet discovered by the Voyager space probe?
Voyager did not discover any new planets. By the time Voyager was launched we already knew of all the planets in our solar system that we know of today. There were also two Voyager probes, not one. The first planet that either probe studied was Jupiter, which we had known for millennia. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in March 1979 while Voyager 2 flew by in July of the same year.
Why did the voyager and pioneer and Galileo probe did not have solar panels?
The Voyager, the Pioneer and Galileo probes were not solar powered because when a probe goes past Jupiter the sun rays are 25 times weaker than than on Earth, and to have a system large enough that would make use of the little light would double the weight of the probe.
Which space probe has left the solar system?
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have both left the heliosphere, but neither has left the solar system. The edge of the solar system is considered to be the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, The exact width of the Oort Cloud is not known, but its estimated that it would take Voyager 2 about 300 years to reach the inner boundary of it.

Where is voyager 1 in your solar system?
It is exiting our solar system.
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 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.
What do satellites and probes do out of your solar system?
The farthest probe away from Earth is Voyager 1. As of 2011, it hasn't left the solar system, but it will relatively soon. When it does, it will continue sending back data about the parts of outer space that it is in. The craft Voyager two, which not quite as far away as Voyager 1, will do the same thing. The crafts Pioneer 10 and 11 are also headed out of the solar system, but we no longer have radio contact with them, so they will just be objects flying through space.
How far does a space probe travel?
Indefinitely - unless it's acted on by gravity ! Take the voyager probes for example - they're still travelling out of our solar system years after they were launched.
Are Voyager is now traveling beyond your solar system?
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.
Missions that explored the outer Solar system?
Voyager I and Voyager II although they were not planned to.
What is name of spacecraft which has now crossed the solar system and has gone into outer space?
Both Voyager 1 and 2 have travelled through the solar system, I believe Voyager 1 is the only one which has left the solar system (or is in the process of).
