carlsagandotcom | Voyager's 45th Anniversary with Ann Druyan, Creative Director of NASA Voyager Interstellar Message @carlsagandotcom | Uploaded August 2022 | Updated October 2024, 1 hour ago.
Voyager 2 launched on August 20, 1977, from Cape Canaveral, Florida aboard a Titan-Centaur rocket. On September 5, Voyager 1 launched, also from Cape Canaveral aboard a Titan-Centaur rocket.
On board each craft was a golden record that included, among other things, the brain waves of love recorded during an EEG of Ann Druyan, a mother's first words to her newborn child, music from all over the world, and greetings in 59 different languages
Between them, Voyager 1 and 2 explored all the giant planets of our outer solar system, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune; 48 of their moons; and the unique system of rings and magnetic fields those planets possess.
In 2012, Voyager 1 made history when it became the first spacecraft to enter interstellar space. Voyager 2 followed suit in December 2018. The two spacecraft are the farthest human-built objects in space and NASA's longest-running space missions in history.
