VOYAGER 2, 10271

Orbit data source: Public

Voyager 2 is a NASA space probe launched in 1977 that remains the only spacecraft to visit all four outer planets—Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Its flybys revealed volcanic activity on Io, the structure of Saturn’s rings, the icy moons of Uranus, and Neptune’s dynamic atmosphere. After completing its planetary tour, Voyager 2 entered interstellar space in 2018, where it continues to study the heliosphere’s boundary and the interstellar medium, securing its legacy as one of humanity’s greatest exploratory missions.
