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. Voyager 1 is the most distant man made object to date, currently around 116 astronomical units from earth.

∙ 12y agovoyager 1 is in the heliosheath sending back data to Earth and at the end of 2012 it might leave our solar system.
After that it will be the first ever man made thing to pass our edge of the solar system with it's twin, voyager 2, not far behind

Where are voyager 1 2 right now?
Some where outside the solar syatems. It can be just floating over thmilky way. No one can pin point where it is roght now on a map of the universe!!! Voyager 1 and 2 are now in what is called the"Heliosheath". This is the outermost layer of what is known as the Heliosphere. We are still receiving information from both spacecrafts. In March of 2012 Voyager 1 was at an approximate distance of 17.9 Billion kilometers away from our sun. Voyager 2 was at an approximate distance of 14.7 Billion kilometers away from our sun.
Are the Voyager 1 and 2 the only scientific instruments ever to visit Neptune?
Voyager 1 never visited Neptune. Voyager 2 has. Voyager 2 is currently the only scientific instrument to do a fly-by of Neptune.

There were two Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977. The most distant is Voyager 1 which is currently just of 10 billion miles from the Sun. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, both launched in 1977 are now both in the region of the solar sytem called the heliosheath, over 16 Billion kilometres away form the earth. The heliosheath is the region of the solar system between the Termination Shock Zone and the Heliopause
