The Voyager 1 aids in space explorationin not only fulfilling it's original job which is to study the planetary syestems of juipiter and saturn but also continuing it's study in the outer solar system by exploring there as well. It passed the pioneer 1 space probe in the jouney to what scientists beleive asgoing to theheliosphere and maybe someday even pastthe solar system.

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
How heavy is the space probe Voyager 1?
Voyager 1 weighed about 1582 pounds, or about 722 kilograms. A link can be found below for more information.
What is the fastest man made spacecraft today?
The fastest man made space craft today is Voyager 1. This space craft was launched in 1977 and travels at 11 miles a second, (39,000mph) which, if you think about it, is pretty pathetic. Although, with the help of the gravitational pull from other planets, that Voyager 1 has passed, or have yet to pass, it's probably going faster. But still, Voyager 1 is over 30 years old, and so far it's past Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. And as of 11/16/11, Voyager 1 is at the outer-most region of the Solar System. It's still unknown when exactly Voyager is going to enter inter-stellar space, but scientist expect it to enter inter-stellar space some time in 2012.
