Beschreibung
2022 marks the 45th anniversary of the Voyager probe launches. Launched into space in 1977, these twin probes explored the farthest reaches of the Solar System before venturing on a one-way journey beyond, all the while testing the bounds of science, robotic exploration and our collective imagination. This heavily revised commemorative book takes a comprehensive look at their incredible achievements, future potential and overall legacy.
Chronicled herein is an epic journey to unveil the mysterious outer reaches of the Solar System for the first time. The book recounts the Voyagers¿ travels through the asteroid belt and past the giant gaseous planets Jupiter and Saturn, as well as Voyager 2¿s forays near the distant ice giants Uranus and Neptune. Each chapter details in full the game-changing scientific data and glorious imagery they sent back to Earth.

This new edition incorporates all the new data we have learned in the nearly 20 years since its original publication, discussing how the knowledge first gleaned with Voyager has been built upon in subsequent decades by Cassini, Juno and New Horizons.
The Voyager probes captured imaginations around the world; now is an opportune time to reflect on their unparalleled quest across the edges of the Solar System and the enigmatic interstellar medium beyond.

Über den Autor
Ben Evans has a lifelong fascination for space exploration and the mysteries of the cosmos, together with a keen interest in writing. He published his first magazine article in the British Interplanetary Society's Spaceflight magazine in 1992, aged 15. In the years that followed, he contributed to the Magazines Spaceflight, Countdown, Astronomy Now, Sky At Night, Astronomy, Boundless and All About Space. He currently writes for [...].
Evans' first foray into the world of book-writing, NASA's Voyager Missions, was published in 2003. Since then, he wrote two books about the careers of the lost shuttles Columbia and Challenger and a six-volume history of human space exploration. The first volume of this series, Escaping the Bonds of Earth, was nominated and shortlisted for the 2010 Eugene M. Emme Astronautical Award.
Zusammenfassung
For the first time, in one volume, Ben Evans with David Harland will not only tell the story of the hugely successful Voyager missions, but also that of the men and women who have devoted their entire working lives to them. Illustrated with stunning images, some in colour, they describe the missions from their conception, through their spectacular encounters with the outer planets and on to their ultimate and, as yet, unknown destination among the stars in the so-called Voyager Interstellar Mission
