Is voyager 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.
Is the voyager 2 a space probe?
yes voyager 2 is a space probe
Is the voyager 2 the only spacecraft that studied Neptune?
No, Voyager 2 is not the only spacecraft to study Neptune. The Hubble Space Telescope and the Keck Observatory have also observed Neptune. Additionally, the European Space Agency's Huygens probe studied Neptune's moon Triton.
Why was voyager 2 sent out before voyager 1?
Voyager 2 was sent out first to allow it to take full advantage of an unusually convenient alignment of the planets allowing it to visit Uranus and Neptune as wellVoyager 1 was launched after voyager 2, but on a faster trajectory which allowed it to reach Jupiter and Saturn before voyager 2.
Are the Voyager 1 and 2 the only scientific instruments ever to visit Neptune?
Voyager 1 never visited Neptune. Voyager 2 has. Voyager 2 is currently the only scientific instrument to do a fly-by of Neptune.
In the late 1970's the voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes were sent to study which planet?
Jupiter
Which planet was voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes sent to study on in the late 1970's?
Jupiter
In the late 70s the voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes were sent to study which planet?
Jupiter voyager 1 used jupiters gravity to send it on to Saturn. voyager 2 went to Saturn uranus and neptune
Why did NASA launch voyager 1 and voyager 2?
The Voyager program was designed to study Jupiter and Saturn but was extended to study Uranus, Neptune, and the outer reaches of the solar system. The planetary alignment that allowed Voyager 2 to visit four planets was an opportunity that would not recur for 175 years.
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 planet were voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes sent to study?
Two identical spacecrafts know as Voyager 1 & 2 were designed to study Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 was launched first on August 20, 1977 and its sister craft Voyager 1 went into space on September 5, 1977. Even though Voyager 1 left almost a month after its counterpart, it arrived at Jupiter on March 5, 1979 almost four months sooner than Voyager 2 which arrived on July 9, 1979. The spacecrafts continued to function long past their planned 5 year mission. Voyager 1 continued to orbit Saturn and further study the planet itself as well as its moons, while Voyager 2 went on to study Uranus, Neptune, their moons, and finally was sent on a path into interstellar space where it continues to transmit data. In their joint mission, Voyager 1 & 2 explored all the giant outer planets of the solar system, 48 of the planets' moons, and each of the planets' systems of rings and magnetic fields. Before its long journey in interstellar space, Voyager 2 captured a picture looking across our entire solar system. The information that scientists collected from the Voyager crafts would answer many key questions in astronomy while raising many more new questions which have yet to be answered.
Is voyager an American space shuttle?
No, Voyager is not an American space shuttle. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are twin spacecraft launched by NASA in 1977 on a mission to study the outer planets. They are not designed for human travel like the space shuttle.
Name a space probe that nasa sent out of space?
voyager I is one voyager II is another one
WHAT went into space on August 20 1977?
On August 20, 1977, the Voyager 2 spacecraft was launched into space by NASA. Voyager 2 was designed to study the outer planets in our solar system, and it has since gone on to become the only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune. It continues to send data back to Earth as it travels into interstellar space.
Who invented voyager 2?
Voyager 2 was not "invented" by a single person; it was a spacecraft designed and built by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory. The project was overseen by a team of scientists and engineers led by the mission's principal investigator, Ed Stone. Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977, as part of the Voyager program to study the outer planets of our solar system.
Is voyager 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 is the purpose of voyager 1 and 2?
Voyager 1 and 2 were launched by NASA to study the outer planets of our solar system. Their primary mission was to gather data and images of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Both spacecraft have continued traveling beyond the solar system to study interstellar space.
