Overview:

Together, Voyager 1 and 2 have a mighty impressive résumé. They investigated the atmospheres, magnetospheres, satellites and ring systems of Jupiter and Saturn and sent back a lot of scientific data. Since 1990, the two Voyagers have been expanding our knowledge about the region of space beyond the orbits of Neptune and Pluto, even as they search for the point where the Sun?s influence no longer dominates.
