The Voyager Probes Sent Back One Final Signal — And It Wasn’t Natural
The Voyager Probes Sent Back One Final Signal — And It Wasn’t Natural In the summer of 1977, two nearly identical spacecraft were rolled out to Cape Canaveral and placed atop Titan-Centaur rockets. Voyager 2 launched first on August 20, followed by Voyager 1 on September 5. Their mission was ambitious but clearly defined: to exploit a rare planetary alignment that occurs only once every 176 years, allowing a single spacecraft to slingshot from Jupiter to Saturn, and then possibly beyond. The plan was to capture detailed images, measure magnetic fields, and sample atmospheres. Each spacecraft was officially designed for only five years of service, just long enough to complete the planetary flybys. After that, NASA expected their instruments to fail and their voices to go silent.
