How long would it take to get to GJ 1214 b at the speed that voyager 1 is traveling?
I believe it would take 44,470,261 years at 17 Km/s, the current speed of Voyager 1 according to Wikipedia
What speed voyager 1?
11km/s
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 has the Voyager 1 spacecraft traveled so far?
Remember, the question is how many miles has the Voyager 1 spacecraft traveled, (Not how far is it from the sun or Earth). Voyager 1 left Earth on 09/05/1977 and today is 06/28/2013. That is approximately 35 3/4th years. In October of 1978, Voyager 1 was traveling at a speed of 34,422 mph, 55397 kph. By March 1979 she had increased her speed to a top speed of 82,935 mph, 133471 kph during her fly by of Jupiter. There are current readings that Voyager 1 is now traveling at a diminishing speed of 37,500 mph, 60,350kph. After all the calculations of the speed differential and speed duration, the average speed is calculated to 37,900 mph. That would mean that the approximate total miles that Voyager 1 has traveled is 11,869,770,400 miles or 19,102,543km. Now the distance from the Sun to Voyager 1 is approximately 122 AUs (Astronomical units). An AU is the distance from the Earth to the sun and that is approximately 92,955,807 miles, 149597870 km which would make the distance from the sun to Voyager 1, 11,340,608,454 miles.
Where is voyager 1 heading to?
Out there. Voyager I is at the edge of interstellar space, having been launched back in 1977. It's about 125AU out now, and it's still working, sending back measurements of the outer boundary of our sun's influence. It will travel forever at its current speed and direction, unless it hits something, which is incredibly unlikely.
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.
Where is Voyager 1?
Voyager 1 is about 109 AU (10 billion miles) from the Sun and has passed the termination shock, [See Link] and is entering the heliosheath, with the current goal of reaching and studying the heliopause, which is the known boundary of our stellar system.
What is a satellite farthest from earth?
Voyager 1 is on the edge of inter-stellar space, Voyager 2 is a little closer. "As of August 2010, Voyager 1 was at a distance of 17.1 Billion Kilometers (114.3 AU) from the sun and Voyager 2 at a distance of 13.9 Billion kilometers (92.9 AU). Voyager 1 is escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.6 AU per year, 35 degrees out of the ecliptic plane to the north, in the general direction of the Solar Apex (the direction of the Sun's motion relative to nearby stars). Voyager 2 is also escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.3 AU per year, 48 degrees out of the ecliptic plane to the south." NASA
How do you determine if transmission on 1998 Plymouth voyager is three speed or four speed?
If the PRNDL indicator is electronic, it is a 4 speed
Would current technology take us Seventy Thousand YEARS to get to the nearest Star?
Voyager 1, launched in September of 1977, is still communicating with Earth inSeptember 2011. It's now about 118.2472 astronomical units (1.768953×1010 km)from the Sun. The magnitude of the Sun from Voyager 1 is −16.4, or the dimmestas seen from any of the five space probes leaving the Solar System. Radio signalstraveling at the speed of light between Voyager 1 and Earth take 16.12 hoursto cross the distance between the two.Voyager 1's current relative velocity to the sun is 17,060 m/s (61,400 km/h; 38,200 mph).This calculates as 3.599 AU per year. At this velocity, 73,600 years would pass beforereaching the nearest star, Proxima Centauri, ifthe spacecraft were traveling in thedirection of that star. Voyager 1 will need about 14,000 years at its current velocityto travel one light year, therefore 40,000 years will pass before it comes anywherenear other stars or planets. Voyager 1 is predicted to enter the interstellar mediumbetween 2012-15, though some scientists say it will be in 2014. Voyager 1 is thefarthest man made object in the universe from Earth.
Does a 1994 Plymouth Voyager have a governor in the transmission?
The three speed does have a hydraulic governor in the transmission. The four speed does not.
Where is the speed control switch located on 1995 Plymouth voyager?
The speed control switch is on the steering wheel.
