Voyager 1, on the other hand, is doing just fine. It has travelled a total of 15 billion miles since it was launched on September 5th, 1977. In 2012, the Voyager 1 probe became the first manmade object to enter interstellar space, meaning that it has completely exited the solar system. It was later confirmed in 2013. Voyager 2 followed and left the influence of the Sun in 2018.
Both Voyager probes are notable for carrying what’s called “The Golden Record.” The record contains sounds and images that are indicative of life on Earth, like pictures of people, nature, and daily life. The sounds on the record are not only recordings of people and nature, but musical selections as well from classical artists and traditional music from cultures all around the world. Chuck Berry’s “Johnny B. Goode” is also on the record as a treat for whatever extraterrestrial being may recover either probe.
In approximately 2025, both Voyager probes are expected to cease transmitting due to a lack of power, officially bringing the mission to an end.
