Voyager 1 Spacecraft: A History of its Launch, Mission and Discoveries
1.
2. History
The voyager 1 was launched on
September 5, 1977
At Cape Canaveral, Florida
It took the voyager 1 1 to 2 years to be
made
It took the voyager 1 4 to 7 minutes to
reach out of our atmosphere
The voyager 1 was launched in Florida
in 1977
3. Mission
To investigate the
circulation, dynamics, structure, and
composition of the other planets atmosphere
To characterize the morphology, geology, and
physical state of the satellites of the planet
To provide improved values for the
mass, size, and shape of the planet, and its
satellites, and any rings
And to determine the magnetic
field, structure, and characterize the
composition and distribution of energetic
trapped particles and plasma therein
4. Structure
The structure of the voyager1 is the science instrument
boom, high gain antenna, camerous and spacemeter
, cosmic ray detector, low gain antenna, star
trackers, radio generations , and magnetometer boom
The structure was made to be unbreakable by the
meteors and asteroids and many other things in the
solar system
The structure of the voyager 1 was made to last and not
to freeze or to burn up
The structure was made to last to send earth the images
it took for the scientists to discover the atmosphere in
the outer planets
5. Manned or unmanned
The voyager 1 was unmanned because the
voyager 1 was made to travel the solar system
to see the other planets atmosphere
The voyager could not travel with anybody
because it travel the solar system
If the voyager was manned they would have
not survived long enough to explore the solar
system
The voyager was unmanned because no one
could survive the heat and cool weather in the
solar system
6. Important information
Together the voyager 1 and 2 have
discovered the outer planets to see the
atmospheres of each outer planet
As the voyager 1 went in a different
direction the voyager 2 discovered the
atmospheres of Uranus and Neptune
The was launched to discover the outer
planets and if there was any other
planets or meoters in the solar system
The voyager was made in Florida
8. Interesting information
It took 13 hours to find its sensor to send
images back to the space station
It took 4 to 7 minutes to travel out of our
atmosphere
It took 4 minutes to reach Boston
The voyager 1 traveled to Jupiter and
Saturn and took a different direction to
the heliosheath and still is traveling to
this day
