Voyager currently travels around 38,000 mph. This is do to a combination of three things:
1. There is no resistance in space, as there is on Earth. Atmospheric resistance is the reason why we are unable to attain extreme speed through methods from Earth, on Earth.
2. Voyager enters the orbit of the planets it passes by and "slingshots" itself out of orbit onwards, thus increasing momentum each time.
3. As there is no resistance in space, momentum is never halted. Thus, Voyager will continue at it's current 38,000 mph unless something stops it (i.e. asteroid).
What else can I help you with?
Is voyager an American space shuttle?
No, Voyager is not an American space shuttle. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are twin spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 on a mission to study the outer planets. They are not designed for human travel like the space shuttle.
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.
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.
Did Voyager 1 ever return to earth?
yes in fact th voyager 1 returned to earth in 2007 and is not based on ground zero
How do you know the distance to voyager 1?
Scientists track Voyager 1's distance from Earth using radio signals. By measuring how long it takes for signals to travel to the spacecraft and back, they can determine its precise distance. This technique is known as ranging.
How does Voyager 1 Pick up so much speed?
Voyager 1 Picks up so much speed because of its 16 hydrazine thrusters.

How many miles do the voyager 1 or 2 spacecraft travel in one second?
300 000km/sec approx
How fast do a meal worms travel?
The answer is about 1 second.

When did space probes Voyager 1 And Voyager 2 launch?
Voyager 1 was launched on the 5th of September 1977 and Voyager 2 was launched before voyager 1 on the 20th of August 1977.
How fast can SSC travel?
i think it can travel up to 1 miles per hour
If you went 8 miles in 1 hour how fast did you travel?
It's Distance/Time, so 8/1 is 8. So it's 8 miles per hour. That is the average speed.
In what year did the Voyager arrive at Saturn?
Voyager 1 arrived in November 1980 and Voyager 2 in August 1981.
