Voyager: The Beginning The Voyager spacecraft have been on an extensive mission of discovery that has lasted some 36 years. Voyager 1 launches from the Kennedy Space Center on Sept. 5, 1977. http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=LIAZWb9_si4 http://www.universetoday.com/104729/10-historic-moments-in-voyagers-journey-to-interstellar-space/
Voyager: Communication with the Earth 34-Meter Beam Waveguide (BWG) Antennas 34-Meter High-Efficiency (HEF) Antenna • Voyager 1 is currently about 12 billion miles away from us. • It takes over 17 hours for its signal to reach the earth. • Its antenna is 3.7 meters in diameter. • “Seeing” its antenna is like seeing a human cell on the moon! http://deepspace.jpl.nasa.gov/dsn/antennas/34m.html
