Detailed explanation-1: -The mission objective of the Voyager Interstellar Mission (VIM) is to extend the NASA exploration of the solar system beyond the neighborhood of the outer planets to the outer limits of the Sun’s sphere of influence, and possibly beyond.
Detailed explanation-2: -NASA officials have said that when first launched, the Voyager mission was expected to last five years. But both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are still traveling and collecting valuable scientific data from the farthest reaches of space. The two spacecraft launched within weeks of each other in the summer of 1977.
Detailed explanation-3: -Voyager 1 is currently in the constellation of Ophiucus.
Detailed explanation-4: -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. Launched in 1977, both Voyager spacecraft began a historic journey and each carried a unique ‘time capsule’ along with them.
