Which spacecraft discovered the ring system of Jupiter?
Voyager 1 in 1979.
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
Is a voyager spacecraft faster than a space shuttle?
Yes, both Voyager spacecraft travel much faster than the space shuttle. The space shuttle only needs to travel about 5 miles per second to achieve Low-Earth-Orbit. Voyager 1 travels at over 10 miles per second.
How far did the Voyager 1 spacecraft travel into space?
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is still traveling through space! Both Voyager 1 and 2 were sent to visit some of the planets of our solar system, but as there is no way to bring them back, they will continue to travel through the vast distances of space forever! Both Voyager spacecraft are still communicating with the NASA team and will continue to do so as they have electrical power to operate some functions until 2020 (though they do not power their cameras anymore). After 2020 the Voyager crafts will run out of power (so this will be about 43 years after they were launched) and be forever silent and continue on their endless journey through space for billions of years to come.
What is the longest time ever spent in space?
Pioneer-10, launched in 1977, was the first spacecraft to escape the solar system, after flying by Jupiter. Both Voyager-1 and -2 continued out of the solar system after completing their observation missions. Voyager-1 overtook Pioneer-10 in 1998 to become the most distant human-made object in space. Signals from both spacecraft are still being received on earth, although NASA budget-cutbacks threaten to eliminate the monitoring programs.
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.
