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.
What else can I help you with?
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.
How far into space has the sent unmanned spacecraft?
The furthest unmanned spacecraft is Voyager 1, which has reached the edge of the heliosphere, the outer boundary of the Sun's influence. It is currently more than 14 billion miles (22 billion kilometers) away from Earth.
Spacecraft that visited Uranus?
The voyager 2 in 1781 Hell, Einstein's Theory of Relativity has just taken a bashing, Voyager 2 got to Uranus 196 years before it was launched. Voyager 2 reached Uranus in January 1986 over 9 years after it was launched in August 1977
How far is the furthest man made object from earth?
The furthest man-made object from Earth is space probe Voyager 1,launched 1977.It is,as of May 9,2011,about 17,300,000,000km from the Sun.
What travels far into the solar system collecting information and returning it to Earth?
Space probes, such as Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, are designed to travel far into the solar system to collect information on planets, moons, and other celestial bodies. They transmit this information back to Earth, providing valuable data for scientists and researchers.
Do spacecraft visit Uranus?
Yes. So far Uranus has been visited only by the Voyager 2 space probe.
How far can a radio wave travel into space?
Radio waves can travel indefinitely through space until they dissipate or are absorbed by particles in space. The farthest man-made radio signal, the Voyager 1 spacecraft, has been transmitting radio signals back to Earth from over 14 billion miles away.

Who was hermann oberth?
the inventor of space travel!!!!! He pioneered many of the space navigation techniques used to send probes and spacecraft to far-off celestial bodies.

How can humans travel to and from Neptune?
Humans cannot currently travel to Neptune as it is too far away and sending a crewed mission would be extremely challenging due to the long duration of the journey and the harsh conditions in space. Unmanned spacecraft, like the Voyager probes, have been sent to study Neptune and its moons.
Spacecraft that visited Uranus?
The voyager 2 in 1781 Hell, Einstein's Theory of Relativity has just taken a bashing, Voyager 2 got to Uranus 196 years before it was launched. Voyager 2 reached Uranus in January 1986 over 9 years after it was launched in August 1977
What are the names of the spacecraft that have visited Neptune?
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to currently visit Neptune, passing 3,000 miles from the planet on August 25, 1989.
Has the Voyager spacecraft left your solar system?
No. Both voyager 1 and 2 are on their way out of our solar system and will eventually escape one day. They have gone well beyond the furthest planet Neptune, but the solar system extends out much further, with the sun have a gravitational effect on objects as far out as 50,000 astronomical units or so. The voyager space craft has got out as far as 116 astronomical units so far.

Why didn't the Voyager use solar energy?
Voyager spacecraft were too far away from the Sun to rely on solar energy. Instead, they used radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) to convert the heat generated by the decay of radioactive isotopes into electricity. This allowed Voyager to continue operating in the dark reaches of space where solar power would have been ineffective.
