SVS: Voyager 2 Trajectory through the Solar System - NASA
Launched on August 20, 1977, it was one of two spacecraft sent to visit the giant planets of the outer solar system. Like Voyager 1, Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, but the Voyager 2 mission was extended to fly by Uranus and Neptune before being directed out of the solar system
40 Years Ago: Voyager 2 Explores Jupiter | NASA
On July 9, 1979, Voyager 2 made its closest approach to Jupiter, flying within 350,000 miles of the planet's cloud tops. On the outbound leg of its encounter, it imaged the satellite Io (closest approach of 702,200 miles), and conducted a 10-hour volcano watch of the moon, confirming Voyager 1's finding that it harbored active volcanoes

Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to study all four of the solar system's giant planets at close range. Voyager 2 discovered a 14th moon at Jupiter. Voyager 2 was the first human-made object to fly past Uranus. At Uranus, Voyager 2 discovered 10 new moons and two new rings. Voyager 2 was the first human-made object to fly by Neptune
Voyager - Jupiter Approach - NASA
Jupiter Approach This time-lapse video records Voyager 1's approach to Jupiter during a period of over 60 Jupiter days. NASA launched the two Voyager spacecraft to Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune in the late summer of 1977. Voyager 1's closest approach to Jupiter occurred March 5, 1979. Voyager 2's closest approach was July 9, 1979

Jupiter from Voyager 2 Dec. 5, 1998 This image was obtained on June 29, 1979, when Voyager 2 was 9.3 million kilometers (5.6 million miles) from the planet. The view extends from +40 to -40 latitude with size of the smallest discernible features equal to 172 kilometers (106 miles)
Voyager 2 - Wikipedia
Voyager 2 ' s closest approach to Jupiter occurred at 22:29 UT on July 9, 1979. [36] It came within 570,000 km (350,000 mi) of the planet's cloud tops. [37] Jupiter's Great Red Spot was revealed as a complex storm moving in a counterclockwise direction. Other smaller storms and eddies were found throughout the banded clouds
Voyager 2 Transformed Our Ideas of Jupiter's Moons 40 Years Ago
Voyager 2's first distant images of Jupiter flowed back on April 24, 1979, and the probe continued taking images and data all the way through Aug. 5 of that year, NASA said. During
Voyager 2: An iconic spacecraft that's still exploring 45 years on
Voyager 2 reached Jupiter in 1979, two years after launching from Cape Canaveral. Since Voyager 1 had just gone through the system four months earlier, Voyager 2's arrival allowed

Voyager - Images Voyager took of Jupiter - NASA
Photography of Jupiter began in January 1979, when images of the brightly banded planet already exceeded the best taken from Earth. Voyager 1 completed its Jupiter encounter in early April, after taking almost 19,000 pictures and many other scientific measurements. Voyager 2 picked up the baton in late April and its encounter continued into August
Edward Stone Retires After 50 Years as NASA Voyager's Project Scientist
The twin Voyager spacecraft launched in 1977, on a mission to explore Jupiter and Saturn, ultimately revealing never-before-seen features of those planets and their moons. Voyager 1 continued its journey out of the solar system, while Voyager 2 continued on to Uranus and Neptune - and remains the only spacecraft to have visited the ice giants
Voyager 1 and 2: The Interstellar Mission - NASA
The Voyager 1 and 2 spacecraft launched from Earth in 1977. Their mission was to explore Jupiter and Saturn —and beyond to the outer planets of our solar system. This was a big task. No human-made object had ever attempted a journey like that before. The two spacecraft took tens of thousands of pictures of Jupiter and Saturn and their moons
