40 Years Ago: Voyager 2 Explores Jupiter | NASA
On July 9, 1979, Voyager 2 made its closest approach to Jupiter, flying within 350,000 miles of the planet's cloud tops. On the outbound leg of its encounter, it imaged the satellite Io (closest approach of 702,200 miles), and conducted a 10-hour volcano watch of the moon, confirming Voyager 1's finding that it harbored active volcanoes
In Depth | Voyager 2 - NASA Solar System Exploration
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to study all four of the solar system's giant planets at close range. Voyager 2 discovered a 14th moon at Jupiter. Voyager 2 was the first human-made object to fly past Uranus. At Uranus, Voyager 2 discovered 10 new moons and two new rings. Voyager 2 was the first human-made object to fly by Neptune
Voyager - Jupiter Approach - NASA
Jupiter Approach This time-lapse video records Voyager 1's approach to Jupiter during a period of over 60 Jupiter days. NASA launched the two Voyager spacecraft to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in the late summer of 1977. Voyager 1's closest approach to Jupiter occurred March 5, 1979. Voyager 2's closest approach was July 9, 1979
Jupiter from Voyager 2 - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory (JPL)
Jupiter from Voyager 2 Dec. 5, 1998 This image was obtained on June 29, 1979, when Voyager 2 was 9.3 million kilometers (5.6 million miles) from the planet. The view extends from +40 to -40 latitude with size of the smallest discernible features equal to 172 kilometers (106 miles)
Voyager 2 - Wikipedia
Voyager 2 ' s closest approach to Jupiter occurred at 22:29 UT on July 9, 1979. [36] It came within 570,000 km (350,000 mi) of the planet's cloud tops. [37] Jupiter's Great Red Spot was revealed as a complex storm moving in a counterclockwise direction. Other smaller storms and eddies were found throughout the banded clouds
Voyager 1 & 2 - NASA RPS: Radioisotope Power Systems
Voyager 1 & 2 Voyager 1 Launched on September 5, 1977 Surveyed the Jupiter and Saturn systems First spacecraft to reach interstellar space RTGs still operating Currently exploring beyond our solar system Voyager 2 Launched on August 20, 1977 Only spacecraft to visit Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune RTGs still operating
Voyager 2 at Jupiter | The Planetary Society
Voyager 2 at Jupiter Voyager 2 mosaic of Jupiter, taken on June 30, 1979 from a distance of 8.74 million kilometers. The image is centered at ~285° longitude. NASA / JPL-Caltech / Justin Cowart Because this mosaic took ~30 minutes to acquire, Jupiter rotated approximately 15 degrees during the acquisition period
Voyager 2 Transformed Our Ideas of Jupiter's Moons 40 Years Ago
Voyager 2's first distant images of Jupiter flowed back on April 24, 1979, and the probe continued taking images and data all the way through Aug. 5 of that year, NASA said. During
SVS: Voyager 2 Trajectory through the Solar System - NASA
Launched on August 20, 1977, it was one of two spacecraft sent to visit the giant planets of the outer solar system. Like Voyager 1, Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, but the Voyager 2 mission was extended to fly by Uranus and Neptune before being directed out of the solar system

Voyager 2: An iconic spacecraft that's still exploring 45 years on
Voyager 2 reached Jupiter in 1979, two years after launching from Cape Canaveral. Since Voyager 1 had just gone through the system four months earlier, Voyager 2's arrival allowed
Voyager - Images Voyager took of Jupiter - NASA
Photography of Jupiter began in January 1979, when images of the brightly banded planet already exceeded the best taken from Earth. Voyager 1 completed its Jupiter encounter in early April, after taking almost 19,000 pictures and many other scientific measurements. Voyager 2 picked up the baton in late April and its encounter continued into August
Voyager - Fact Sheet - NASA
Voyager 1 flew within 64,200 kilometers (40,000 miles) of the cloud tops, while Voyager 2 came within 41,000 kilometers (26,000 miles). Saturn is the second largest planet in the solar system. It takes 29.5 Earth years to complete one orbit of the Sun, and its day was clocked at 10 hours, 39 minutes
45 Years Ago: Voyager 2 Begins Its Epic Journey to the Outer Planets
Voyager 2 conducted its observations of Jupiter between April 24 and Aug. 5, 1979, making its closest approach of 350,000 miles above the planet's cloud tops on July 9. The spacecraft returned 17,000 images of Jupiter, many of its satellites, and confirmed Voyager 1's discovery of a thin ring encircling the planet
Voyager 1 and 2: The Interstellar Mission - NASA
The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft launched from Earth in 1977. Their mission was to explore Jupiter and Saturn —and beyond to the outer planets of our solar system. This was a big task. No human-made object had ever attempted a journey like that before. The two spacecraft took tens of thousands of pictures of Jupiter and Saturn and their moons
Voyager - Galleries - NASA
Each Voyager space probe carries a gold-plated audio-visual disc in the event that the spacecraft is ever found by intelligent life forms from other planetary systems. Examine the images and sounds of planet earth. The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft explored Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune before starting their journey toward interstellar space
Voyager 2 - Interplanetary Missions - NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory
The Voyager 2 spacecraft, which has been in operation since 1977 and is the only spacecraft to have ever visited Uranus and Neptune, has made its way to interstellar space, where its twin spacecraft, Voyager 1, has resided since August 2012.

40 Years Ago: Voyager 1 Explores Jupiter | NASA
On Mar. 5, still inbound toward the planet, it flew at 262,000 miles of Jupiter's small inner moon Amalthea, taking the first close-up photograph of that satellite revealing it to be oblong in shape and reddish in color. About five hours later, Voyager 1 made its closest approach to Jupiter, flying within 174,000 miles of the planet's cloud tops
