Pioneer-10, launched in 1977, was the first spacecraft to escape the solar system, after flying by Jupiter. Both Voyager-1 and -2 continued out of the solar system after completing their observation missions. Voyager-1 overtook Pioneer-10 in 1998 to become the most distant human-made object in space. Signals from both spacecraft are still being received on earth, although NASA budget-cutbacks threaten to eliminate the monitoring programs.
