How long does the space probes stay in space?

Most Space Probes never come back, the Space Probe Voyager 1 has traveled so far that it is out of our solar system. It was launched in the 1970s.


How many miles has the Voyager 1 spacecraft traveled so far?

Remember, the question is how many miles has the Voyager 1 spacecraft traveled, (Not how far is it from the sun or Earth). Voyager 1 left Earth on 09/05/1977 and today is 06/28/2013. That is approximately 35 3/4th years. In October of 1978, Voyager 1 was traveling at a speed of 34,422 mph, 55397 kph. By March 1979 she had increased her speed to a top speed of 82,935 mph, 133471 kph during her fly by of Jupiter. There are current readings that Voyager 1 is now traveling at a diminishing speed of 37,500 mph, 60,350kph. After all the calculations of the speed differential and speed duration, the average speed is calculated to 37,900 mph. That would mean that the approximate total miles that Voyager 1 has traveled is 11,869,770,400 miles or 19,102,543km. Now the distance from the Sun to Voyager 1 is approximately 122 AUs (Astronomical units). An AU is the distance from the Earth to the sun and that is approximately 92,955,807 miles, 149597870 km which would make the distance from the sun to Voyager 1, 11,340,608,454 miles.


Will there ever be a voyager 3 spacecraft?

Very doubtful, NASA has no official plans for a Voyager 3 mission so far, and I doubt they ever will. If they ever do launch Voyager 3, it won't be for a while.


Spacecraft that visited Uranus?

The voyager 2 in 1781 Hell, Einstein's Theory of Relativity has just taken a bashing, Voyager 2 got to Uranus 196 years before it was launched. Voyager 2 reached Uranus in January 1986 over 9 years after it was launched in August 1977


What planet did Voyager 1 visit?

Jupiter (Voyager 1 & 2)Saturn (Voyager 1 & 2)Uranus (Voyager 2)Neptune (Voyager 2)See related link for a full description of the Voyager exploration

What spaceships passed Uranus?

So far only Voyager 2 has visited Uranus.


What space probes visited Neptune?

The only probe that has reached Neptune so far was Voyager 2.


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.


How did Mesopotamians travel?

they traveled in thick reed boats, camels or wagons but only so far...


Do spacecraft visit Uranus?

Yes. So far Uranus has been visited only by the Voyager 2 space probe.


How has christian sandor traveled on time?

Nobody has traveled in time so far. Time travel is in the realm of science fiction; it hasn't been achieved in real life.


Where did Saint Cecilia travel to?

We do not know if she even traveled. Travel was difficult and, sometimes, dangerous those days so it is doubtful if she ever traveled far from her home in Rome.


What are the problems interfering with sending people to neptune?

As far as I know no one has ever even seriously proposed "sending people to Neptune", so that might be one.Neptune is very far away (by human standards). The only NASA mission which has gone "to" (actually, "very quickly past" would be more accurate) Neptune is Voyager 2, which took twelve years to get there. Voyager weighed about two tons; a spacecraft capable of sustaining human life long enough to reach Neptune (let alone get back) would be far, far more massive.
