The Voyager mission, now in its 25th year, continues its
quest to push the bounds of space exploration. The twin
Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft opened new vistas in space by greatly expanding
our knowledge of Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 then extended the planetary
adventure when it flew by Uranus and Neptune, becoming the only spacecraft
ever to visit these worlds.

with their current mission to study the region in space where the Sun's
influence ends and the dark recesses of interstellar space begin. More
