'''Voyager 1''' is a robotic spacecraft launched to explore the outer [[solar system]] by [[NASA]].<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.britannica.com/technology/Voyager-space-probes|title=Voyager|accessdate=2019-07-24|publisher=britannica.com}}</ref> It was launched from [[Cape Canaveral]] on September 5, 1977 and has since toured the major planets, using each for a gravity assist, to alter the speed and trajectory of the craft. Voyager 1 passed by [[Jupiter]] on July 9, 1979 and [[Saturn]] on August 25, 1979. Voyager 2, its twin, also passed by [[Neptune]] and [[Uranus]]. With these two craft (plus the earlier Pioneer missions) much more information was learned about these outer planets.
