The Voyager program consists of a pair of unmanned scientific probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, launched in 1977.
Voyager was actually a scaled back version of the Grand Tour program of the late 1960s and early 1970s to send a pair of probes to fly by all the outer planets (scaled back because of budget cuts).
In late 2003, Voyager 1 began sending data that seemed to indicate it had crossed the termination shock, but interpretations of this data were in dispute.
