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).
A little less than 17 kilometers per second.
Voyager 1 is travelling at the rate of 1 million miles per day per NASA. Voyager travels somewhat slower.
well look on neptunes site and it may tell how much days,weeks,months,or years.
It took Voyager 2 about 9 years to get from Earth to Uranus.
12 years and 4 days

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.
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.
Voyager 1 was launched on the 5th of September 1977 and Voyager 2 was launched before voyager 1 on the 20th of August 1977.

Voyager 1 arrived in November 1980 and Voyager 2 in August 1981.

Voyager 1 Picks up so much speed because of its 16 hydrazine thrusters.
300 000km/sec approx

The answer is about 1 second.
i think it can travel up to 1 miles per hour
The Pioneer 11 probe was launched on, April 6, 1973.Last contact with the probe was November 1995.
1 mph
It's Distance/Time, so 8/1 is 8. So it's 8 miles per hour. That is the average speed.
You are traveling 1 mile in 1 minute. There are 60 minutes in an hour, so you are traveling 60 mph.
1 mile per hour
