Slice of History
On 5 March 1979, Voyager 1 passed Jupiter for the first time in a landmark moment in global space history. Designed to take advantage of a rare planetary alignment that occurs only once in 176 years, Voyagers 1 and 2 remain both the most distant human-made objects in existence and the most well-traveled spacecraft in history.

NASA's Voyager 1 Resumes Sending Engineering Updates to Earth
The probe and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only spacecraft to ever fly in interstellar space (the space between stars). Voyager 1 stopped sending readable science and engineering data back to Earth on Nov. 14, 2023, even though mission controllers could tell the spacecraft was still receiving their commands and otherwise operating normally.
