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.

Has spacecraft ever left the solar system?

Depends "very" much on the definition of the boundary of the solar system, but it's possible Voyager I may well have.


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).


What was the name of the first spacecraft to leave the solar system?

Nothing man-made has left our solar system yet. The furthest thing is Voyager 1, which is now about 116AU away from Earth, around 10.8 billion miles - at the edge of our solar system.


How far have robotic spacecraft travelled?

If by robotic, you mean unmanned... The Voyager 1 probe has left our solar system - and is approximately 134 AU (2.00×1010 km) - or 20,000,000,000 km from Earth.


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. To reach the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, truly leaving the solar system, would take Voyager 2 something like 30,000 years.


What is the name of the spacecraft which has now crossed the solar system and has gone into outer space?

The Voyager 1 spacecraft is a 722-kilogram (1,592 lb) space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977, to study the outer Solar System and eventually interstellar space. Operating for 33 years, 11 months and 12 days as of today (17 August 2011), the spacecraft receives routine commands and transmits data back to the Deep Space Network. It will be the first probe to leave the Solar System and is the farthest man made object from Earth.The two Voyager satellites have left the solar system and passed the "heliopause", the boundary layer between the solar system and deep space.V1 Launch Date: 1977-09-05 12:56:00 UTCV2 Launch Date: 1977-08-20 14:29:00 UTC

What is the date when voyager 1and 2 left solar system?

About 35 years ago.


What information was collected when Voyager 2 landed on Uranus?

Voyager II did not land on Uranus, it has left our solar system.


What was the furthest rocket out in space?

The farthest rocket is Voyager 1 who went Interstellar (which means that it left the Solar System) on Sept 12,2013.


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

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.
