The Voyager mission, launched in 1977, was designed to study the outer planets. It provided groundbreaking data on Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, including details on their moons, rings, and atmospheres. Notable discoveries include active volcanism on Io and the complex ring systems of Saturn. The mission's success was due to a rare planetary alignment, allowing the spacecraft to visit multiple planets. Voyager continues to send data from interstellar space, contributing to our understanding of the solar system.
