Voyager 2 is a space probe launched by NASA on August 20, 1977, as a part of the Voyager program. It was launched on a trajectory towards the gas giants (Jupiter and Saturn) and enabled further encounters with the ice giants (Uranus and Neptune).

2024年11月2日 · Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to visit Uranus and Neptune. The probe is now in interstellar space, the region outside the heliopause, or the bubble of energetic particles and magnetic fields from the Sun.

2024年3月10日 · Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have reached interstellar space and each continue their unique journey deeper into the cosmos. This near real-time 3D data visualization uses actual spacecraft and planet positions to show the location of both Voyager 1 and 2 and many other spacecraft exploring our galactic neighborhood.

1977年8月20日 · The Voyager 2 spacecraft, which has been in operation since 1977 and is the only spacecraft to have ever visited Uranus and Neptune, has made its way to interstellar space, where its twin spacecraft, Voyager 1, has resided since August 2012.

2024年10月23日 · Voyager 2 is around 12.8 billion miles from Earth. That puts it about 138 times farther away from us than we are from the sun. Like Voyager 1, it is in interstellar space, but it's heading in a...

2025年4月3日 · Voyager 1 and its twin Voyager 2 are the only spacecraft ever to operate outside the heliosphere, the protective bubble of particles and magnetic fields generated by the Sun. Voyager 1 reached the interstellar boundary in 2012, while Voyager 2 (traveling slower and in a different direction than its twin) reached it in 2018.

2022年8月17日 · Voyager 2 became the third spacecraft to visit Saturn when it arrived at its closest point to the ringed planet on Aug. 26, 1981, and took hundreds of pictures of the planet, its moons and its...

2025年3月6日 · Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 remain the most distant human-made objects ever built. Voyager 1 is more than 15 billion miles (25 billion kilometers) away. Voyager 2 is over 13 billion miles (21 billion kilometers) from Earth. In fact, due to this distance, it takes over 23 hours to get a radio signal from Earth to Voyager 1, and 19½ hours to Voyager 2.

2025年3月5日 · NASA engineers have announced plans to disable a pair of science instruments on the iconic Voyager probes, hoping to extend the science missions of the two farthest human-made objects from Earth.. On Wednesday, the American space agency revealed that Voyager 1’s cosmic ray subsystem experiment was shut off on February 25. Voyager 2’s low-energy charged particle instrument will also be ...

2018年12月10日 · Voyager 2 now is slightly more than 11 billion miles (18 billion kilometers) from Earth. Mission operators still can communicate with Voyager 2 as it enters this new phase of its journey, but information – moving at the speed of light – takes about 16.5 hours to travel from the spacecraft to Earth.
