	Voyager program information - Search.com
		Voyager is also the name of a planned series of unmanned probes to Mars, cancelled in 1968.
		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.

		Mars 4, 5, 6, and 7 comprised an associated group of Soviet spacecraft launched towards Mars in July and August of 1973.
		Mars 5 reached Mars on February 12 1974 at 15:45 UT and was inserted into an elliptical 1755 by 32,555 km, 24 h 53 min orbit with an inclination of 35.3 degrees.
		Mars 96 was an orbiter launched in 1996 by Russia and not directly related to the Soviet series of probes.

	Viking Program Encyclopedia Articles @ LaunchBase.com (Launch Base) (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Each mission had a satellite designed to photograph the surface of Mars from orbit, and to act as a communication relay for the Viking lander that each mission carried.
		The Viking program grew from NASA's earlier, and more ambitious Voyager Mars program, which was not related to the successful Voyager deep space probes of the late 1970s.
		The primary objectives of the Viking orbiters were to transport the landers to Mars, perform reconnaissance to locate and certify landing sites, act as a communications relays for the landers, and to perform their own scientific investigations.

		The National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) is the government agency responsible for the United States of America's space program and long-term general aerospace research.
		In 1958, the department was reorganized and given control of the space program, which had previously been undertaken separately by different branches of the military.
		Some of its most notable achievements are sending the first men to the moon in 1969, the ongoing space shuttle program, contributions to the international space station, and the launching of various space probes and satellites.

	USGS Astrogeology: Voyager Mission
		The twin Voyager spacecraft were launched in 1975 to conduct studies of Jupiter, Saturn, Saturn's rings, and the larger moons of both planets.
		The five year mission extended to twelve years, allowing the spacecraft to explore not only Jupiter and Saturn, but also Uranus, Neptune, and a total of 48 of the gas giants' moons.
		Like the Pioneers 10 and 11 spacecraft before them, both Voyager spacecraft are leaving the solar system to explore interstellar space.
