Yeah, that's ridiculous. Darth_Katie Send a noteboard - 14/12/2010 10:43:19 PM
simple but still sweet. I wonder what kind of data it will collect out there? Hopefully something cool. :)

The current estimate on Wikipedia for the Voyager probes' continued operational lifespan is that they have another 15 years (til 2025) at which time the signals will become too weak for us to detect them. Considering they were launched in the late '70s, we'll have had almost 50 years service from them. Screw some bridge somewhere, that's got to be a Wonder of the Modern World.

Ridiculously awesome.
Insert theme music here.

It entered the heliosheath in 2004, and will leave for interstellar space proper in 2015. *NM* Macharius - 14/12/2010 09:24:08 PM 237 Views
