A great visual look at the history of the Voyager space craft and program, completed with detailed captions for each image. Well worth a look.

Voyager 1 was launched Sept. 5, 1977 atop a Titan rocket with a Centaur-6 upper stage. Still operational for 30 years, Voyager 1 is more than 103.2 astronomical units away from the Sun. Astronomers believe it has now entered the solar system’s heliosheath — the termination shock region between the sun’s solar wind and interstellar space. Signals from Voyager 1 take 13 hours to reach Earth, traveling at the speed of light.
