"Spacecraft electrical power is supplied by Radioisotope Thermoelectric Generators (RTGs) that provided approximately 470 w of 30 volt DC power at launch. Due to the natural radioactive decay of the Plutonium fuel source, the electrical energy provided by the RTGs is continually declining."

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.
How many people can voyager carry?
The Voyager spacecraft, which includes Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, were not designed to carry people; they are robotic probes launched by NASA in 1977 to explore the outer planets and beyond. Therefore, they have no capacity for human passengers or crew. Their primary mission was to gather scientific data about the solar system and interstellar space.

Have any robots or satellites explored Jupiter and when?
Pioneer 10, in 1973; Pioneer 11, also in 1973; Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in 1979. For more details, check the Wikipedia article on "Exploration of Jupiter".
What is the name of the spacecraft?

What is voyager 1 fuel?
Voyager 1 runs on a rocket fuel called hydrazine. This is for orientating the spacecraft . Propulsion is no longer required in the low gravity conditions of outer space. For the instruments on Voyager, a form of plutonium is used to produce the power.
Is a satellite?
Voyager is a spacecraft probe. It is not a satellite. NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft launched in August and September 1977. Voyager 1 focused on Jupiter and Saturn., while Voyager 2 flew past Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What year was Voyager launched?
There are two Voyager spacecraft. Voyager 2 was launched on August 20 1977. Voyager 1, despite its no.1 ranking, was launched second on September 5 1977.
What kind of spacecraft that has visited Saturn?
Here are some: Cassini Pioneer 11 Voyager 1 and Voyager 2
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.
Name of the spacecraft that visited Saturn?
These three flew by: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2 Cassini is in orbit
What spacecraft photographed Jupiters red spot?
Voyager 1 and 2 in 1979
Name a spacecraft which flew past Jupiter and discovered a ring?

Which spacecraft discovered the ring system of Jupiter?
The ring system of Jupiter was discovered by the Voyager 1 spacecraft in 1979. The rings are made up of fine particles of dust and rock and are not as prominent as the rings of Saturn.
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.
