Voyager 1 runs on 69 KB of memory and an 8-track tape recorder

Voyager 1 and 2 launched in 1977 and used different trajectories to reach interplanetary space.

As of 2025 Voyager 1 is the most distant human-made object, more than 24 billion kilometers away, sending data at 160 bits per second.

Each spacecraft carries a 12-inch gold-plated copper record that includes greetings in 55 languages, messages from leaders, and 115 analog images.
