Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have both left the heliosphere, but neither has left the solar system. The edge of the solar system is considered to be the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, The exact width of the Oort Cloud is not known, but its estimated that it would take Voyager 2 about 300 years to reach the inner boundary of it. To reach the outer boundary of the Oort Cloud, truly leaving the solar system, would take Voyager 2 something like 30,000 years.

What were the first two space probes to leave your solar system?

Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. There is a matter of some debate as to whether the two Voyager probes have actually left the solar system, an where the "edge" of the solar system actually is. Both are beyond the orbit of Pluto, but have not passed beyond the vaguely-defined Kuiper Belt, and the two probes are just approaching the heliopause, the boundary layer between the solar wind and the broader currents of interstellar space. But it seems likely that however that boundary is defined, the two Voyager probes either were or will be the first man-made objects to pass it.


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.


What do you call the tiny part of our galaxy in our solar system?

"Our solar system." The "part of our galaxy" that's in our solar system is the solar system.


Why is the voyager important?

The Voyager program, launched in the late 1970s, is important because it provided humanity's first detailed images and data about the outer planets, including Jupiter and Saturn, and their moons. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have since become the farthest human-made objects from Earth, offering invaluable insights into our solar system and beyond. Additionally, they carry the Golden Record, a message to potential extraterrestrial life, symbolizing humanity's quest for knowledge and connection. Their ongoing journey continues to enhance our understanding of space and the universe.


How is Sirius star different from all the other objects in the solar system?

Sirius is not part of our Solar System, so it is not appropriate to talk about "other objects in the solar system".

Does voyager 2 carry a space probe on board?

Yes, Voyager 2 is a space probe itself. It was launched in 1977 by NASA to study the outer planets of our solar system.


What country did the voyager probe come from?

The Voyager probes were launched by NASA, the space agency of the United States. They were launched in the late 1970s to explore the outer planets of our solar system.


How did Gravity Assist help the voyager space probe navigate the solar system?

By the gravity pull


How far does a space probe travel?

The distance a space probe travels depends on its target destination. For example, the Voyager 1 probe has traveled over 14 billion miles from Earth to the edge of our solar system, while the New Horizons probe traveled about 4 billion miles to reach Pluto. Some probes, like the Parker Solar Probe, are designed to stay within our solar system, while others, like the Voyager probes, are on trajectories to travel beyond.


What was the first planet discovered by the Voyager space probe?

Voyager did not discover any new planets. By the time Voyager was launched we already knew of all the planets in our solar system that we know of today. There were also two Voyager probes, not one. The first planet that either probe studied was Jupiter, which we had known for millennia. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in March 1979 while Voyager 2 flew by in July of the same year.

Where is voyager 1 in your solar system?

It is exiting our solar system.


Have any human probe left your solar system and gone into interstellar space?

Voyager One and Voager Two have both passed beyond the orbit of Pluto.


Name a space probe that nasa sent out of space?

voyager I is one voyager II is another one


What is the name of space probe that visited outer planets?

Voyager II is the first successful space probe that reached the outer planets or Jovian Planets. It is in the rule of probes that they should not reach the outer planets because it is too far and their probes might malfunction. But this Voyager II probe had a successful flight to the outer planets.


Is it possible to leave the solar system?

With current technology, a human could not leave the solar system and live. However the space probe Voyager 1, launched in 1977, has entered interstellar space after traveling for more than 30 years.


What do satellites and probes do out of your solar system?

The farthest probe away from Earth is Voyager 1. As of 2011, it hasn't left the solar system, but it will relatively soon. When it does, it will continue sending back data about the parts of outer space that it is in. The craft Voyager two, which not quite as far away as Voyager 1, will do the same thing. The crafts Pioneer 10 and 11 are also headed out of the solar system, but we no longer have radio contact with them, so they will just be objects flying through space.
