40 Years of Cosmic Discovery: The Voyager Missions and Humanity’s Message to Space
Ғылым және технология
Cornell celebrated the 40th anniversary of Voyagers 1 and 2, and the university's central role in the missions and the Golden Record, with a panel discussion on Oct. 19, 2017.
The panel, introduced by Cornell Provost Michael Kotlikoff, included people who worked on the mission: Ann Druyan, Emmy- and Peabody-award winning writer/producer/director and creative director of NASA’s Voyager Interstellar Message; Frank Drake, chairman emeritus, SETI Institute and creator of the Drake Equation; Steve Squyres, Cornell’s James A. Weeks Professor and principal investigator of the Mars Exploration Rovers mission; Lisa Kaltenegger, associate professor of astronomy and director of Cornell’s Carl Sagan Institute; and Jonathan Lunine, the David C. Duncan Professor in the Physical Sciences and director of the Cornell Center for Astrophysics and Planetary Science.

Appreciate all the speakers, thank you !
Voyager will remain the greatest mission of discovery for a long time, probably until as Steve said that we send a probe to another solar system. Voyager is the Odyssey of our time.

there was no voyager they cant even get off planet with public tech
These are true heroes!
It's insane to think about how we haven't sent a SINGLE spacecraft to Uranus and Neptune in 40 YEARS (technically 32 and 29). Look at how much new data we have received on Pluto from New Horizons.

Alan and friends started working on getting a probe to Pluto in 1989 and the flyby was in 2015. So, if you are a 30-something planetary scientist, start working on proposals now and maybe you can get data back before you retire.

It's a simple problem of Orbital Mechanics. In essence, things aren't lined up correctly to use Gravity Assist in order to reach Uranus & Neptune. That's why The '77 Launch Year was so critical. Things won't be lined up again until the year 2144.

cleekmaker00: You can send one probe to Uranus and one probe to Neptune using Jupiter for gravity assist about every 13-15 years or so. And of course you could just launch it directly there any year with big enough rockets or using a small enough probes.
I can see myself front row.
that's not jupiter
