Voyager currently travels around 38,000 mph. This is do to a combination of three things:
1. There is no resistance in space, as there is on Earth. Atmospheric resistance is the reason why we are unable to attain extreme speed through methods from Earth, on Earth.
2. Voyager enters the orbit of the planets it passes by and "slingshots" itself out of orbit onwards, thus increasing momentum each time.
3. As there is no resistance in space, momentum is never halted. Thus, Voyager will continue at it's current 38,000 mph unless something stops it (i.e. asteroid).

How far did the Voyager 1 spacecraft travel into space?
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.
Is a voyager spacecraft faster than a space shuttle?
Yes, both Voyager spacecraft travel much faster than the space shuttle. The space shuttle only needs to travel about 5 miles per second to achieve Low-Earth-Orbit. Voyager 1 travels at over 10 miles per second.
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.
What planet did Voyager 1 visit?
Jupiter (Voyager 1 & 2)Saturn (Voyager 1 & 2)Uranus (Voyager 2)Neptune (Voyager 2)See related link for a full description of the Voyager exploration
In what year did the Voyager arrive at Saturn?
Voyager 1 arrived in November 1980 and Voyager 2 in August 1981.

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 do the voyager 1 or 2 spacecraft travel in one second?
300 000km/sec approx

How fast do a meal worms travel?
The answer is about 1 second.
How fast can SSC travel?
i think it can travel up to 1 miles per hour
What year did Voyager 1 travel to Jupiter?
The Pioneer 11 probe was launched on, April 6, 1973.Last contact with the probe was November 1995.
How fast did the Boxing Day tsunami travel?
1 mph
If you went 8 miles in 1 hour how fast did you travel?
It's Distance/Time, so 8/1 is 8. So it's 8 miles per hour. That is the average speed.
How fast do you have to go to travel one mile in 60 seconds?
You are traveling 1 mile in 1 minute. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so you are traveling 60 mph.
How fast does a Ro-Ro travel?
1 mile per hour
