What is Voyager I?

The Voyager spacecraft is an outer galaxy space probe developed and constructed by the United States, launching a total of two. Formerly known as "Sailor 11" and "Sailor 12" [1] . Voyager 2 and Voyager 1 were launched on August 20 and September 5, 1977, respectively. The two sister probes flew along two different orbits. Responsible for detecting planets in the outer solar system. The plutonium battery (nuclear power battery) carried by Voyager 1 and its sister ship Voyager 2 will last until around 2025. When the batteries run out, they will stop working and will continue to move towards the center of the galaxy. In mid-August 2012, research scholars indicated that Voyager 1 will enter interstellar space, flying a total of 17.8 billion kilometers in 35 years. On September 12, 2013, NASA confirmed that the Voyager 1 probe had left the solar system and reached the open interstellar space of the solar system for more than a year. [2]

The Voyager probe is a two-planet probe launched by the United States in 1977. The two detectors were originally named "
In addition to scientific instruments, the Voyager probe also carried a piece of gold-plated copper
NASA has plans to develop and launch a Pluto probe called the Express, around March 2010, when Pluto is at a near point. The probe is a 0.5-meter-wide hexagonal cylinder, equipped with a visible light camera that detects the geological terrain of Pluto, an ultraviolet spectrometer for recording the characteristics of the upper atmosphere, and an oscillator for measuring the characteristics of the lower atmosphere. The energy of the Pluto probe and other instruments is provided by a radioisotope generator with a total power of 65 watts. Because Pluto's rotation speed is too slow, it is necessary to use two detectors at the same time to effectively detect its entire appearance.
But only when this plan is implemented can people reveal the true face of the last planet detected.
