- VoyagerThis is a real-time indicator of Voyager 1's distance from Earth in astronomical units (AU) and either miles (mi) or kilometers (km). Note: Because Earth moves around the sun faster than Voyager 1 is speeding away from the inner solar system, the distance between Earth and the spacecraft actually decreases at certain times of year.
- Voyager 1 & 2 – NASA RPS: Radioisotope Power SystemsVoyager 1 targeted Jupiter and Saturn before continuing on to chart the far edges of our solar system. Voyager 2 targeted Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune before joining its sister probe on their interstellar mission. Accomplishments: Voyager proved to be one of the greatest missions of discovery in history.

- Voyager 1's Pale Blue Dot | NASA Solar System ExplorationVoyager 1 was launched Sept. 5, 1977, just days after its twin — Voyager 2 — on Aug. 20. Because it was on a faster route to the mission's first encounter, at Jupiter, Voyager 1 overtook Voyager 2 on Dec. 15, 1977. (This was the reason for the order of their naming.) Voyager 1 flew past Jupiter on March 5, 1979, and Saturn on Nov. 12, 1980.
