The Voyager 1 probe was launched on September 5, 1977 and has been traveling for 11339 days or about 31 years. The Voyager 2 probe was launched on August 20, 1977 and has been traveling for 11346 days - 16 days longer than Voyager 1.
Voyager 1 travelled closer to Jupiter and was given a boost from the planets gravity, a sling shot that now means it is the fastest and furthest man made object from Earth. As of 2011, it is around 116.4 Astronomical Units from the sun, where 1 Astronomical Unit is the distance between the sun and the Earth. Signals being sent from earth, travelling at the speed of light, take over 16 hours to reach the probe.
Voyager 1 has not left the solar system yet. The probe was launched about 32 years ago.
Voyager 1 has traversed a total of: 10.4 Billion Kilometres.
Voyager 1 and 2 were launched in 1977, and explored the outer planets during the 70's and 80's. They are still partially operational today, on their way out of our solar system.
Yes voyager is in space and will end in 2025

At the moment - according to the Wikipedia article (see related link) it takes about 16 hours for signals sent from Voyager to reach Earth. At least that's what it says in the section titled 'Current Status'

How long it would take to get to Neptune from Earth would depend on the path chosen and on where Neptune and Earth were in their orbits when the mission was launched. For example, the Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched on Aug 20, 1977 and it reached Neptune on Aug 24, 1989. So, Voyager 2 took about twelve years to reach Neptune.
how long was the first radio telescope
at a rough guess, i,d say 2 minutes as it,s our nearest neighbour

The speed of light is about 300,000 km/sec. Just divide the distance by the speed of light. The answer will be in seconds; divide by 60 to get minutes, by 3600 to get hours, or by 86400 to get days.
Distance = 3.03 x 109 kmSpeed of radio = 3 x 108 m/s = 3 x 105 km/sTime = (distance)/(speed) = (3.03 x 109)/(3 x 105) = 1.01 x 104 seconds = 2hrs48.3min (rounded)

Long Distance Voyager was created in 1981.
took 89 years!

A little less than one and a half seconds.
For me voyager is a ship that travels space... :) :) :) <3 A voyager is a long-distance traveller, particularly by ship
That distance you gave is nearly 200 astronomical units so if that is right the time would be 8 minutes times 200, which is 26½ hours.
I think the doctor was still in service, but not on voyager. How long? not sure.
Call 1-888-327-7018 to try to get on air. You'll be put on hold for a long time.
