The Voyager Program and the twin Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft are leg-endary, and the mission they continue to fly achieved significant milestones in the history of solar system exploration. NASA launched the two spacecraft in separate months in the summer of 1977. Eventually, between them, Voyager 1 and 2 would explore all four giant outer planets of our solar system, 48 of their moons, and their unique systems of rings and magnetic fields. To achieve this great success, the Voyager team had to work through a series of anomalies, start-ing with safe mode entries shortly after launch and telecommunications issues in early operations. The Voyager team pioneered deep-space exploration as they learned to solve these and many other problems in the mission’s 40-plus years.
