![]() At a distance of 159.39 AU (23.844 billion km 14.816 billion mi) from Earth as of February 8, 2023, it is the most distant human-made object from Earth. Real-time distance and velocity data is provided by NASA and JPL. It communicates through NASA's Deep Space Network to receive routine commands and to transmit data to Earth. Launched 16 days after its twin Voyager 2, Voyager 1 has been operating for 45 years, 5 months and 16 days as of FebruUTC. Voyager 1 is a space probe launched by NASA on September 5, 1977, as part of the Voyager program to study the outer Solar System and interstellar space beyond the Sun's heliosphere. In the SVG file, hover over a trajectory or orbit to highlight it and its associated launches and flybys. Plots 2 to 4 are third-angle projections at 20% scale. Plot 1 is viewed from the north ecliptic pole, to scale. Markers denote positions on 1 January of each year, with every fifth year labelled. Heliocentric positions of the five interstellar probes (squares) and other bodies (circles) until 2020, with launch and flyby dates.
