When:  Mar 18, 2021 from 18:30 to 20:00 (ET)
Associated with  Long Island Section

The Voyager missions to the outer planets and interstellar space will be discussed in detail. Topics to be discussed include the incredible opportunity for a "grand tour" of the outer planets encountered only every 176 years and some pictures from the first ever encounters with Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The subsequent interstellar mission and current status will also be highlighted as well, particularly the challenges of flying two geriatric spacecraft with a tiny flight team. Finally, the future of the mission and the Voyager Golden Record will be featured in some detail.
