Introduction: Our article is an article from the New York times, dated September 12th, 2013 and it is about Voyager 1, a spacecraft made by NASA. This spacecraft can study the outer planets of the solar solar never observed before. Its purpose is to collect information on the planets Saturn and Jupiter, and on the atmosphere.
(Coline)
First part: Voyager 1 left earth 36 years ago, it went for a four-year mission to Saturn. It also went near Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and it took many photos of their moons ("What do you mean by "moons"?).
Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and it was declared by scientists as the first spacecraft to exit the solar system. Moreover, it wasn't pulled by the sun for one year, it was pulled along by gravity. While we speak it is travelling at 38 000 miles per hour.
Now Voyager 1 is in a zone where there are energy particles around the Sun and it's a dark region. In this place there is plasma or ionized gas. (Josselin)
Second part:
This spacecrat was designed for a mission to Saturn. It is « the little spacecraft that could » because it's the first space probe to exit the solar system. It is 11.7 billion miles from earth but voyager 1 can send back data until roughly 2025. Now it's voyager 2, also launched in 1977. But this second companion is expexted to exit the solar system. Later voyager 1 will go to watch dxarf star known as AC+793888. M.Zottarelli says « you're on your own now »
(Alexandre)
Conclusion: To conclude, Voyager 1 has successfully completed its first mission, collected information and taken photos of Saturn. Likewise, it did the same things for three others planets.
Today it has left our solar system, Voyager 1 might even come across another spacecraft.
The experience is wonderful, but what scientists would have anticipated that, when it was launched in 1977 by the NASA?

(Coline)
First part: The probe Voyager 1 left earth 36 years ago, it went for a four-year mission to Saturn, and everything after that was gravy. Besides now it went near Jupiter, Uranus, Neptune and it took many photos of their moons.
Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 and it was declare by scientists which is the first probe to exit the solar system. Moreover, it wasn't pull by the sun for one year. While we speak it go to 38 000 miles per hour.
Now Voyager 1 is between place where there are energetic particles around the Sun and the dark region. In this place there are plasma or ionized gas.

Second part:
This spacecrat was designet for a mission to saturn. He is « the little spacecraft that could » because it's the first probe to exit the solar system. He is at 11,7 billion miles to earth but voyager 1 can sending back data until roughly 2025. Now It's voyager 2, also launched in 1977. But this second companion is expexted to exit the solar system. Later voyager 1 go to watch dxarf star known AC+793888. M.Zottarelli say « you're on your own now »
(Alexandre)
Conclusion: To conclude, the probe Voyager 1 had successfully effected his first mission, collect information and take photos of Saturn. Likewise, it did the same things for three others planets.
Today it has leaved our solar system, Voyager 1 might meet an other one.
The experience is wonderful, but which scientists can anticipate that, when it was launched in 1977 by the NASA?

this is a very interestion article becuase space travel is important. I want to know more like if there is any other solor systems out there that might have life on them. If they do how could we figure out a plan to travel there and get more information on the planets that have life. Could aliens really exist out there? -jason perez
That's a good question! If people realy live out of our solar system, and if they find Voyager 1, we must "create relation". For me, it a wacky hypothesis! Lara
this article is describing how marvelous the design of the voyager 1 space craft must have been to be able to last this long in space on its own power. After 36 years of constant travel it is still hurtling outside the range of the solar empire into the depths of unknown space. For a machine that was built in 1977, it is a huge feat. The fact that there is another voyager doing the same thing is amazing and it makes me think about something.
If we made another voyager craft today with updated equipment and storage, what could we do with it? How far could we send it and in how much time? Could we make it leave the solar system within 20 years? Maybe 15? I don’t know but its definetly interesting
Maybe, with news technolies, who can do "better" than scientists in 1977, some secrets projects was for soon… Lara
we, as humans, have that technology now. over the past 30 years we have advanced more scientifically that where making phones that go on your wrist like in the old sci-fi films. We will be able to do something of even more magnitude soon and maybe, just maybe, we might eventually get humans to say the moon every other month in the next 100 years. We wont know until that time comes
We can imagine, in fact, going in Holiday on the moon, all are possible likewise the best is (in my opinion) to live in present, don't dreaming too much…
yeah the moon really isnt even a close possiblity at this point. we have landed on the moon 1-2 times i do believe and just to get their cost several billion american dollars so its not a very good probability at this point
Not for next year, however in 100~150.
Of course' we didn't know that..
In my opinion, I would say that an older spacecraft such as Voyager 1 becoming the first craft to leave the Solar System is a huge step towards exploring the Universe. I've always been interested in the Universe and its magnificent wonders. The thought of stars burning billions of miles away, the beauty of the planets and moons out there, the thought that we may find alien life forms one day, it all fascinates me.
It just makes me think that one day, we'll be dispersed far and wide over the Universe, visiting other galaxies and encountering alien life forms, or even make alliances with alien life forms as well. This feat was such a small jump for mankind, but a big step for all the Universe!

To Hannah,
In fact, we are so small compared to the Universe! I'm not sure we are in life when earthlings will speak with "littles greens men"… But the perspective is interesting, and technoligies may concretised it. Lara
Is there probably life out in the universe? Yes, it is widely accepted that statistically there is great chance of extraterrestrial life. But the error in our understanding is the egotistical mindset of ourselves: for how do we know that we can even recognize life (intelligent or not) when we see it? Sure some basic principles for "life" are seeked out- symmetry, pattern, movememt, waste, reproduction, etc. but that is such a small aspect of potential life, for those are traits only developed on Earth. When you step over a worm, it doesnt recognize us as an advanced intelligent organism- but as only something moving over it. How can we be sure that we can even comprehend intelligence in the universe? Can we really have confidence that our technology and basic understandings of life itself can discern anything? Interesting thoughts!
-Downey, Nathanial
i wouldnt even call it probable. its just true i mean think about it, our sun is one of the 300 billion energy giving stars in our galaxy with planets revolving it. and our galaxy is only one of the trillion others, so if you multiply those numbers together to get the mathematical probabilities that just one other planet out of those 1,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 solar systems has life? its about 99.99999 % that there is other-and most likely more devolped- life out in the vast universe
To Nathanial:
I think your Idea is must philosofic than our scientific subjet! Human life and way of life versus probabilities for a spacecrat to go out of our galaxie… ;D
To Eric:
All ideas post in this page concerning extraterrestrial life are eventualities, and didn't realy convince me. But your probabilities are interesting! did you calcule it? Or find it somewere?
However, if we make a link with our subject, Voyager 1 (according to scientific calculation) will be out of service in 2025. So, can it join one of the 1 […] 00 solar systems before it can send informations to us? Because even if it meets a planet inhabited we didn't know!
to lara:
it is true that by the time the voyager is able to reach a different solar system, it wont be able to send us information. But if we send out a different probe that can not only travel faster, but longer and with better data recording, we might be able to see different solar systems sooner than expected
and with my previous comment, yes, those numbers are calculated
To Eric:
Oh yes, of course, VOyager is like an "antiquity" compare to news probes! We have to be patient… very patient.
I imagine but who does it?
It's true, if we explore the universe, we can find the same solar system, with a good condition favourable for the existence. Perhaps, aliens who look like to us or little men green !
But imagine, the opposite, A form of life like the type you would find on one of the planets and this form to live who don't look like to us therefore we don't suspect because every forms of live aliens, we imagine one form like us with eyes, nose, mouth, arm … It's very good them to study !!
Space- the final frontier- is a blanket of mystery that engulfs our miniscule planet- laying dormant and still very much virgin to our developing space technology. Humanity celebrated the launch of the first satellites, and the world sat still as Neil Armstrong, Buzz Aldrin, and Michael Collins walked on the face of the moon. This next step is a giant leap towards a threshold of science, for man has broken the barrier of Milky Way that surrounds us. Though this enough is thrilling and promising, the even more extraordinary fact of the matter is that Voyager 1 was only planned to operate until Saturn. This contraption is outdated and nothing compared to common devices of the modern century today, yet this inferior hunk of metal will be the first surviving creation of man to attempt to touch back the mysterious face of god. -Downey, Nathanial
I don't understand all of your post, but I can imagine our suject interested you! I agree with you: this spacecraft is like a little miracle for the exploration of the solar system, of the Universe, although he was launched in 1977. And with news technologies and innovations, we don't stop progress! Lara
I am agree with you. It is very incredible ! A probe of 1977 wich is always going to an other solar-system !! In fact i am very impressed by his speed because it keep the same speed since his launching ! However, Voyager 1 will not have bettery in 2025 therefore i hope the sientist will find new technology for more explore the universe and maybe meet a planet like the Earth.
