What was the distance between voyager 1 and earth?

As of December '08 Voyager 1 is about 10 billion miles from Earth


Is JPL and NASA still in communication with the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts?

Yes, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL) remains in communication with both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. While the spacecraft are in interstellar space, they continue to send back scientific data, with Voyager 2 being 11 billion miles away and Voyager 1 more than 14 billion miles away from Earth.


Which space ship has travelled farthest from the earth and to where?

As of now, the farthest spacecraft from Earth is Voyager 1. It has reached interstellar space, located about 14 billion miles away from Earth. Voyager 1 was launched by NASA in 1977 and continues to send back data to Earth.


Can Voyager 1 and 2 ever return?

Voyager 1 and 2 are both headed out into deep space on trajectories which will eventually throw them completely clear of the solar system. They'll never be close to Earth again. The only way they would ever return to Earth would be if we developed faster-than-light travel (or something close) and went out and picked them up. Or someone might pick them up and return them to us. You know, like those guys with the little trucks who pick up shopping carts and take them back to stores? Like that. Someone with some really, really high tech transportation. Someone with the ability to swing out there and drag them back without too much trouble.


Will there ever be a voyager 3 spacecraft?

There are currently no plans for a Voyager 3 spacecraft. The original Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft were launched in the 1970s and continue to send back data from the edge of our solar system. If there were to be a Voyager 3 mission, it would likely be designed for exploring even farther reaches of space.

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.

What is the farthest a spaceship was ever went?

Voyager 1 is the furthest man-made object from Earth. It is 10.3 billion miles from the Sun. It takes 15 hours for signals to reach Earth from this distance.


What nasa probe has travelled the farthest from earth?

voyager 1 xD


What are the 2 space vehicles that have traveled farthest into the solar system?

The voyager space probes that visited the outer planets in the 70's and 80's, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, while the Voyager 2 probe visited all four gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 1 is the furthest man made object from Earth at around 122AU from Earth as of September 2012. That is 122 times the distance between the Earth and Sun.


What planet was not visited by voyager 1 or voyager 2?

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 did not visit the planet Pluto. Voyager 1's trajectory did not take it close to Pluto, and Voyager 2 was redirected after its Uranus encounter to head out of the solar system in a different direction.

Where exactly is Voyager 1 right now?

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.
