Who ever thought a pair of spacecraft launched in the ’70s would end up with a Twitter account?

We're signing off here, but our mission continues. (Fingers crossed for 50 years!) Thanks for being part of this remarkable story.

Stay curious. Stay kind. Stay inspired. 💫

"How far away are the Voyager spacecraft? How fast are they traveling? How long does it take to communicate with them?"

Calling all space history buffs!

Watch these Voyager-themed episodes of the "JPL and the Space Age" documentary series to explore the origins and early discoveries of our missions:

The Footsteps of Voyager: bit.ly/3I7fnoW

Poster-style graphic for the Voyager documentary The Stuff of Dreams. A silhouetted Voyager spacecraft is shown in the foreground, set against a colorful, swirling space background resembling infrared or radio waves. The title text reads “The Stuff of Dreams,” with “Stuff” and “of” in white and “DREAMS” in bold blue overlaid by horizontal blue bars.

Our journeys out of the solar system were uncharted territory – and included three distinct phases: termination shock, heliosheath, and interstellar space.

(TBH, the whole thing is pretty complicated, so maybe just go read about it here: science.nasa.gov/mission/voyage…)

Illustrated graphic showing the positions of NASA’s Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft as they travel beyond the heliosphere into interstellar space. The image depicts the Sun at the center, surrounded by the blue termination shock, the outer heliosheath, and the edge of the heliosphere. Both spacecraft have crossed the heliopause—the boundary where the solar wind is stopped by the interstellar medium—marking their entry into interstellar space. The background features colorful clouds of interstellar gas and distant stars, highlighting the vastness of space beyond our solar system.

My final planetary encounter – Neptune – was an historic time.

From Aug. 21-29, 1989, my team held daily press conferences to share news with the world. On Aug. 25, Chuck Berry visited @NASAJPL to perform the only rock-and-roll song on the Golden Records, “Johnny B. Goode." - V2

Musician Chuck Berry and scientist Carl Sagan on stage at NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory in 1989, celebrating the Voyager 2 spacecraft’s successful flyby of Neptune. Berry, wearing a white suit and holding a guitar, looks toward Sagan, who is dressed in a beige suit and speaking into a microphone with a raised hand. The event honored the mission’s milestone and Berry’s music, which was included on the Voyager Golden Record sent into space. A cheering audience is visible in the background.
