Where Are They Now? - NASA Science
WEBWhere Are They Now? Both Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 have reached "interstellar space" and each continue their unique journey deeper into the cosmos. In NASA's Eyes on the Solar System app, you can see the actual spacecraft trajectories of the Voyagers updated every five minutes.
Voyager 1 - Science@NASA
WEBThe spacecraft discovered two new moons, Thebe and Metis. Its flyby of the Saturn system in November 1979 was as spectacular as the Jupiter encounter. Voyager 1 found five new moons, a new ring, and complicated ring structures, including “shepherd moons” that keep some rings well-defined.
Mission Overview - NASA Science
WEBThe twin spacecraft Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were launched by NASA in separate months in the summer of 1977 from Cape Canaveral, Florida. As originally designed, the Voyagers were to conduct closeup studies of Jupiter and Saturn, Saturn's rings, and the larger moons of the two planets.
Voyager 1 & 2 Discovers Evidence of the Heliopause

PDS IMG: Beta - Voyager - PDS Imaging Node
WEBVoyager remains NASA's most successful planetary mission as measured by total number of scientific discoveries. Voyager 1 flew under Saturn's south pole, a requirement to get a close look at Titan. Saturn's gravity caused the trajectory to bend northward out of the ecliptic plane, precluding any further planetary encounters.
