Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA in 1977 to explore the outer planets and beyond. After providing close-up studies of Jupiter and Saturn, it became the first human-made object to reach interstellar space in 2012. Carrying the Golden Record, Voyager 1 serves as both a scientific mission and a cultural message to potential extraterrestrial civilizations. Its instruments continue to measure cosmic rays, magnetic fields, and plasma, offering humanity a direct view of the environment between the stars.
