Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977 to study the outer Solar System.
As of 2019, the spacecraft still communicates with the Deep Space Network to receive routine commands and to transmit data to Earth and is the most distant man-made object from Earth (at a distance of more than 22 billion km).
On August 25, 2012, Voyager 1 became the first spacecraft to cross the heliopause and enter the interstellar medium.
[NASA caption] This photo of a crescent-shaped Earth and Moon, the first of its kind ever taken from a spacecraft, was recorded sept. 18, 1977, by NASA’s Voyager 1 when it was 7.25 millions miles (11.66 million kilometers) from Earth. The Moon is at the top of the picture and beyond the Earth as viewed from Voyager. In the picture are eastern Asia, the western Pacific Ocean and part of the Arctic. Voyager 1 was directly above Mt. Everest (on the night side of the planet at 25 degrees north latitude) when the picture was taken. The photo was made from three images taken through color filters, then processed by the Jet Propulsion Laboratory’s Image Processing Lab. Because the Earth is many times brighter than the Moon, the Moon was artificially brightened by a factor of three relative to the Earth by computer enhancement so that both bodies would show clearly in the print. Voyager 2 was launched Aug. 20, 1977; Voyager 1 was launched Sept. 5, 1977. They will arrive at Jupiter in 1979, and at Saturn in 1980 and 1981. JPL is responsible for the Voyager mission for the National Aeronautics and Space Administration.
