Yes, communications from both of the spacecraft are still received through the Deep Space Network, despite Voyager 1 being the furthest ever man-made object from earth.
NASA launched it in September 1977 from Cape Canaveral.
The Voyager program was designed to study Jupiter and Saturn but was extended to study Uranus, Neptune, and the outer reaches of the solar system. The planetary alignment that allowed Voyager 2 to visit four planets was an opportunity that would not recur for 175 years.
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.
Voyager 1 was launched on the 5th of September 1977 and Voyager 2 was launched before voyager 1 on the 20th of August 1977.
Voyager 1 was sent to the edge of the solar system by NASA to study what was happening and to take pictures. It was launched in 1977 and is still sending back data.
The Voyager 1 was a space probe that was launched by NASA on September 5th, 1977 with the intention of studying the outer Solar System and interstellar medium. Currently, it is still operating and regularly sends back data to the Deep Space Network.

NASA's Pioneer 11 and Voyager 1 and 2, as well as a NASA/ESA mission called Cassini-Huygens
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.

No, it was launched by AmericaHowever, Voyager One is composed of over 65,000 individual parts, plus the smaller components for those parts. Some of those parts were constructed in other countries and then shipped to the US for assembly.Just because a craft was launched by NASA, however, it does not mean it is an American craft. NASA has signed a cooperation treaty with 135 other countries and works alongside them in space exploration.
