The little spaceships that could, NASA's twin Voyagers, celebrate their 25th year
August 20, 2002 by speeding toward the edge of our solar system carrying messages
from Mozart, Bach, and Chuck Berry. Voyager 1 was launched August 20, 1977 and was
expected to take a quick four-year tour of Jupiter and Saturn, send back some data,
and retire. Voyager 2 was launched September 5, 1977, with a similar mission, but
a different route. Instead, the doughty robotic probes have kept going and going
and going. This is an image montage of the Saturnian system taken by the Voyager
probe spacecraft. (Reuters - Handout)
