NASA / JPL · 1977 — present
Six ways to follow humanity's farthest journey — from a to-scale portrait of the spacecraft to a live readout of where both probes are right now.
The full story of humanity's message to the cosmos — who made it and why, who's on it, and how it's meant to be decoded. Flip the gold disc to its engraved cover and click each diagram; hear the record's own reference tones, synthesised in your browser.
Open the exhibit →Orbit a photorealistic, to-scale model of the Voyager spacecraft — the identical design flown by both 1 & 2. Drag to rotate, zoom the high-gain dish, the RTGs, the magnetometer boom, and the science platform.
Explore the model →A precise technical illustration on a one-metre grid — the 3.7 m dish, the 13 m magnetometer boom, the antennas — every dimension drawn from NASA data.
View the diagram →Watch both Voyagers fly the Grand Tour, plotted from real JPL ephemeris and flyby data — with the actual photos each probe took anchored to where it took them.
Open the map →A cinematic scroll-journey through every milestone, with the real NASA images at each stop and a live readout of Voyager 1's distance ticking upward as you read.
Begin the journey →A live status board for both probes side by side — current distance from the Sun, one-way light time, speed and mission age, all ticking upward every second as they head deeper into interstellar space.
See the live readout →This is a free, independent passion project. If it moved you, support the real work — donate to The Planetary Society, own the official Golden Record box set, or read the books that shaped the mission.
