As NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft were changing our understanding of the solar system, they also spurred a leap in spacecraft communications. The process of development and management of computer hardware and software might not be the most exciting part of the process, but it is one that is incredibly crucial to the final outcome. This means that at least seven new shuttles of different types must have been built from stored spare parts. "Voyager 1 may leave the solar bubble in five more years, but the family portrait gives you a sense of the scale of our neighborhood and that there is a great deal beyond it yet to be discovered." Voyager 1 reached interstellar space in August 2012 and is the most distant human-made object in existence. Together, the Voyager missions discovered 22 moons. Since then, these spacecraft have continued to travel farther away from us. Voyager 1 and 2 are now so far away that they are in interstellar space —the region between the stars. No other spacecraft have ever flown this far away. The Voyager spacecraft were built and continue to be operated by NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in Pasadena, Calif. Caltech manages JPL for NASA.

Voyager 1 will reach this 12,000-day milestone on July 13, 2010 after traveling more than 22 billion kilometers (14 billion miles). The spacecraft were built to last five years and conduct close-up studies of Jupiter and Saturn. The spacecraft will continue to orbit Saturn until it runs out of fuel, which could take many decades. The twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were launched by NASA in separate months in the summer of 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. Pioneer 10 and 11 were primarily intended to do humanity's first major reconnaisance of other planets in our solar system. VIDEO: In the late summer of 1977, NASA launched the twin Voyager spacecraft. The Voyager spacecraft were built by JPL, which continues to operate both. Since the Voyager spacecraft are identical, it could be Voyager 2, as well. The Pioneer spacecraft were Earth’s first deep space probes, and they held the record for being the furthest manmade objects from Earth until they were overtaken by the Voyager probes in the 1990s. One of the first design decisions made about the It employs three RTGs, each holding 24 Pu-238 oxide fuel packets, which together emitted enough heat to generate a maximum of 470 watts of electrical power at the beginning of the mission. Difference? Too many differences between Museum's Voyager and NASA's Voyager. See how the Voyager spacecraft worked in this SPACE.com infographic here.
