	Voyager program - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		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).
		Voyager is also the name of a planned series of unmanned probes to Mars, cancelled in 1968.
		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.

	Voyager 2 - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Voyager 2 found that at the highest levels (70 millibars or 7.0 kilopascals) Saturn's temperature was 70 kelvins, while at the deepest levels measured (1200 millibars or 120 kilopascals) the temperature increased to 143 kelvins.
		Unlike Voyager 1, which is believed to have crossed the termination shock into the heliosheath in December 2004, Voyager 2 is currently not believed to have left the heliosphere yet.
		As of December 30, 2005, Voyager 2 is at a distance of 78.4 AU from Sun and is escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.3 AU per year (ca.

	Voyager Mission Description
		The Voyager 2 closest approach to Saturn was on 26 August 1981 at 03:24 UTC and at a distance of 161000 km from the center of Saturn.
		Voyager 2 found that one of the most striking influences of the orientation of the rotation axis is its effect on the tail of the magnetic field, which is itself tilted 60 degrees from the planet's axis of rotation.
		The Voyager 2 closest approach to Uranus was on 24 January 1986 at 17:59 UTC at a distance of 107000 km from the center of Uranus.

	Voyager - Mission - Interstellar Mission
		Voyager 1 is escaping the solar system at a speed of about 3.6 AU per year, 35 degrees out of the ecliptic plane to the north, in the general direction of the Solar Apex (the direction of the Sun's motion relative to nearby stars).
		Voyager 1 was at a distance of approximately 40 AU (Astronomical Unit - mean distance of Earth from the Sun, 150 million kilometers) from the Sun, and Voyager 2 was at a distance of approximately 31 AU.
		As of July 2003, Voyager 1 was at a distance of 13.3 Billion Kilometers (88 AU) from the sun and Voyager 2 at a distance of 10.6 Billion kilometers (70 AU).

	Voyager
		Voyager 1 discovered three satellites, a dynamic and complex ring structure with ring spokes, sheparding moons and far more structure than had been previously imagined.
		The success of the Titan encounter (hazy though it was), set the stage for Voyager 2 to continue on to Uranus and Neptune.
		Had Titan not been successful, Voyager 2 would have followed its in the footsteps of its twin, and the Uranus and Neptune encounters would not have been possible.

		Voyager 1 returned stunning images of Saturn and its rings, showing that the rings are far more complex than ever imagined.
		Voyager 1 is speeding along at about 57,600 kph (35,790 mph) - fast enough to travel from the Earth to the Sun three and a half times in one year.
		The prime mission objectives of Voyager 1 were to investigate the atmospheres, magnetospheres, satellites, and ring systems of Jupiter and Saturn.

		Voyager 1 made its closest approach to Jupiter on March 5, 1979, and Voyager 2 followed with its closest approach occurring on July 9, 1979.
		Voyager 1's flight path at Saturn bent it up and away from the ecliptic, the plane in which most planets orbit the Sun.

	New Scientist News - Voyager 1 reaches the edge of the solar system
		Voyager 1 was supposed to have reached this milestone nearly three years ago but the evidence was inconclusive.
		But many scientists disagreed because Voyager 1 had not seen a concomitant and significant increase in the sun's magnetic field, a sign that solar particles are slowing down and bunching together at the termination shock.
		The Voyager twins, 1 and 2, were launched in 1977 to explore the outer planets.

	PROGRESSIVEWORLD.NET: REVIEWS BY LARRY "LARRYD" DAGLIERI
		Voyager is a 5-piece progressive metal band from the Land Down Under, and they have certainly come up with a disc that really sounds like no other, except for the mighty Lanfear, and even then, it's a bit different from that sound as well.
		Voyager can be placed in that "doesn't sound like anyone else" brand of progressive metal without question.
		This is a musical journey - a voyage as the band name implies - a story, not something to be dissected in a few words, or a whole story for that matter.

	BBC NEWS Science/Nature Voyager 'at edge of Solar System'
		Voyager 1 was only meant to survive five years in space when it was launched in 1977 and yet since then it has been sending back a steady stream of data, including spectacular photographs of the Solar System.
		Whether Voyager 1 has reached the first boundary or is still on approach remains unclear as, scientists provided evidence for both possibilities on Wednesday.
		Louis Lanzerotti of Bell Laboratories and the New Jersey Institute of Technology said his team had found "compelling argument" that Voyager I was "in the vicinity of the termination shock" and had even passed briefly into the heliopause.

		Voyager 1 has already discovered that the outbound solar wind around it is slowing from effects of inbound interstellar particles leaking through the boundary.
		Voyager 1 is now the most distant man-made object, about 85 times as far from the Sun as Earth is. Voyager 2 is now about 68 times the Sun-Earth distance.
		Voyager 1 is rushing toward the heliopause at about 1.6 million kilometres a day (one million miles a day).

	Voyager 1 Approaches Solar System's Outer Limits
		Voyager 1 is the farthest manmade object in space, and from about Aug. 1, 2002 to Feb. 5, 2003, scientists noticed unusual readings from several instruments on the spacecraft indicating it had entered part of the solar system unlike any encountered before.
		Voyager 2, which launched on Aug. 20, 1977, and explored Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune, is also moving out but in a southward direction and hasn’t traveled as far.
		Analyzing six months of data from Voyager’s Low-Energy Charged Particle instrument, a team led by Dr. Stamatios Krimigis of The Johns Hopkins University Applied Physics Laboratory (APL), Laurel, Md., determined that the spacecraft, while nearly 8 billion miles from Earth, passed through and later returned behind the turbulent zone known as the solar termination shock.

		The Voyager message is carried by a phonograph record-a 12-inch gold-plated copper disk containing sounds and images selected to portray the diversity of life and culture on Earth.
		Pioneers 10 and 11, which preceded Voyager, both carried small metal plaques identifying their time and place of origin for the benefit of any other spacefarers that might find them in the distant future.
		Once the Voyager spacecraft leave the solar system (by 1990, both will be beyond the orbit of Pluto), they will find themselves in empty space.

	Scaled Composites: Voyager
		This was key to the Voyager's success, because the amount of fuel carried, in relation to the vehicle's takeoff weight, had the strongest influence on range.
		The Voyager aircraft was designed and fabricated for a single mission: Fly around the world non-stop non-refueled.
		Although the Voyager was not a Scaled Composites project, it was designed by our present CEO Burt Rutan.

		This last point may be the Voyager's most lasting legacy - at 1612 mm (63.5 in), the wheelbase is halfway between a BMW K-series and a Gold Wing - proving that a FF need not be as long as the Quasar (wheelbase 1955 mm!).
		I have not owned a Voyager, but I did have a reasonable length test ride on a prototype(?) soon after the production bike was announced.
		As a Quasar rider, the most notable feature of the Voyager for me was that it solved almost every one of the faults of the Quasar.

		The Voyager 's nine-day epic flight around the world without refueling was a media event and the culmination of a dream.
		Voyager 's uniqueness was in its airfoil design, immense fuel capacity, and very light composite structure.
		On the morning of December 23, 1986, Yeager and Rutan, man and wife, set down their one-of-a-kind, home-built airplane, Voyager, at the base in California where, little more than nine days earlier, they had begun their nonstop flight around the worlda 25,000-mile-plus adventure they describe in dramatically human terms in this richly illustrated book.
