- Confidence votes 32.9K. Voyager 1 Voyager 1 is 8.2 billion kilometers from the Sun. The distance to the Earth varies depending on the time of year so the distance to the Sun is a much more constant measurement. On September 9, 2012, Voyager 1 was 121.836 AU (1.82264×1010 km; 1.13254×1010 mi) from the Earth and traveling at 17.043 km/s (38,120 mph) (relative to the Sun) and traveling outward at about 3.595 AU per year.

TEACHERâS GUIDE For AEROSPACE: THE JOURNEY OF FLIGHT A large spacecraft carrying two probes and a lander would be sent out to investigate the ice planet orbiting in the far reaches of the Solar System some 2.8 billion miles from the Sun. Until now, the only spacecraft to visit Neptune was Voyager 2, which flew by the giant planet in 1989. Voyager 2, which has traveled to more planets than any other probe in history, probably still will be operating as the new probe arrives at Neptune.

Voyager 1 When New Horizons reaches the same distance from the Sun as Voyager 1 is now, its speed will be about 13 km/s (8 mi/s). In December 2017 it was announced that NASA had successfully fired up all four of Voyager 1 ' s trajectory correction maneuver (TCM) thrusters.

CFA versus CFP Second, I would say that the CFP designation is more country specific than the CFA. To provide proper financial planning, one needs to understand the tax laws and regulatory environment applicable in one’s country or region. Someone with a CFP designation in Australia should know Australian laws.

How far is Neptune from Earth? therefore if the earth was on the opposite side of the sun from neptune at its maximum distance from the sun and neptune was also at its maximum distance from the sun the maximum distance of neptune from earth would be 4702 million km or 4 702 billion km

How are the Voyager spacecraft able to transmit radio messages so far? Voyager 1 is currently over 7 billion miles (about 11 billion kilometers) away from Earth and is still transmitting -- it takes about 10 hours for the signal to travel from the spacecraft to Earth!

To Infinity and Beyond: NASA Confirms Voyager Out of Solar System To quote Buzz Lightyear: To infinity and beyond!. That very well could be Voyager 1's motto. NASA scientists confirmed today that the Voyager 1 space probe has become the first human-made object to leave the solar system and venture into interstellar space. Voyager 1's precise location has been one of the most hotly debated scientific topics of the past year.

- Reports last year that NASA's Voyager 1 spacecraft had left the solar system and entered interstellar space were a bit premature -- but the moment is close, BBC News reports. New data indicates that, 36 years after it blasted off from Earth, the pace probe is right at the precipice of deep space.

Until now, the only spacecraft to visit Neptune was Voyager 2, which flew by the giant planet in 1989. Voyager 2, which has traveled to more planets than any other probe in history, probably still will be operating as the new probe arrives at Neptune. However, Voyager 2 will be much farther away, some 10.5 billion miles from the Sun near the edge of the Solar System.

- Voyager Farewell Image. This view of Uranus was recorded by Voyager 2 on January 25, l986, as the spacecraft left the planet behind and set forth on its cruise to Neptune. Voyager was 1 million kilometers (620,000 miles) from Uranus when it acquired this wide-angle view.

Voyager probe 'leaves Solar System' Launched in 1977, Voyager was sent initially to study the outer planets, but then just kept on going. Today, the veteran Nasa mission is almost 19 billion km (12 billion miles) from home. This distance is so vast that it takes 17 hours now for a radio signal sent from Voyager to reach receivers here on Earth.

How Long Would it Take to Travel to Proxima Centauri? At 38,000 miles/hr, Voyager would take 76,000 years (2,500 generations) to travel to Proxima Centauri. Still not good, it seems we need to travel at an appreciable percentage of the speed of light before we turn the 4.33 light year trip from an epoch into a human lifetime.

How Far is Neptuneâs from the Sun? Neptune’s distance from the Sun is 4.5 billion km; more specifically, it’s 4,503,443,661 km. If you’re still using the Imperial system, that’s the same as 2.8 billion miles. But this number is actually an average.

What is a parsec? One parsec is approximately 30 trillion kilometers or 19 trillion miles. That’s a bit over three light-years. The Voyager 1 probe, launched in 1977, is the most distant manmade object from Earth. It is a mere six ten-thousandths of a parsec away.

6 Fascinating Facts About Space Probe Voyager 1 When Voyager 1 blasted off from Earth on September 5, 1977, it was designed to last for five years. Today, the space probe continues to communicate with NASA as it approaches the heliopause—the boundary between our solar system and interstellar space. The farthest manmade object from Earth, Voyager 1 may keep exploring space for another 10 or 20 years before its power runs out. Meanwhile, check out these cool facts about the spacecraft and its mission.

- 9 Mind-Blowing Facts About Voyager 1. A spacecraft launched in the 1970s, Voyager 1 is still traveling and sending back data today, well beyond the scope of its initial, relatively simplistic mission. 1. Voyager 1 Has Been Traveling for 35 Years. Launched in 1977, September 5 will mark the 36th anniversary of Voyager 1's launch. That makes it one of the oldest pieces of space technology that is still in contact with Earth.

If Voyager had never found any shortcuts back to the Alpha Quadrant, would it realistically have only taken 75 years to get back home? As for Voyager the speeds on Memory Alpha are as follows...warp 9.975 1,554c - 1,721c or 132 light years 1 month. The journey of 75 years is 900 months is = 118,800 light years, or greater than the breadth of the Galaxy. As pointed out before clearly overshoots the mark.

Did You Know? Voyager's fuel efficiency (in terms of mpg) is quite impressive. Even though most of the launch vehicle's 700 ton weight is due to rocket fuel, Voyager 2's great travel distance of 7.1 billion km (4.4 billion mi) from launch to Neptune resultsed in a fuel economy of about 13,000 km per liter (30,000 mi per gallon).ven though most of the launch vehicle's 700 ton weight is due to rocket fuel, Voyager 2's great travel distance of 7.1 billion km (4.4 billion mi) from launch to Neptune resultsed in a fuel economy of about 13,000 km per liter (30,000 mi per gallon).

Did You Know? The Voyager delivery accuracy at Neptune of 100 km (62 mi), divided by the trip distance or arc length traveled of 7,128,603,456 km (4,429,508,700 mi), is equivalent to the feat of sinking a 3630 km (2260 mi) golf putt, assuming that the golfer can make a few illegal fine adjustments while the ball is rolling across this incredibly long green.
