What planet were voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes sent to study?
Two identical spacecrafts know as Voyager 1 & 2 were designed to study Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 was launched first on August 20, 1977 and its sister craft Voyager 1 went into space on September 5, 1977. Even though Voyager 1 left almost a month after its counterpart, it arrived at Jupiter on March 5, 1979 almost four months sooner than Voyager 2 which arrived on July 9, 1979. The spacecrafts continued to function long past their planned 5 year mission. Voyager 1 continued to orbit Saturn and further study the planet itself as well as its moons, while Voyager 2 went on to study Uranus, Neptune, their moons, and finally was sent on a path into interstellar space where it continues to transmit data. In their joint mission, Voyager 1 & 2 explored all the giant outer planets of the solar system, 48 of the planets' moons, and each of the planets' systems of rings and magnetic fields. Before its long journey in interstellar space, Voyager 2 captured a picture looking across our entire solar system. The information that scientists collected from the Voyager crafts would answer many key questions in astronomy while raising many more new questions which have yet to be answered.
