Both spacecraft are now leaving the Solar System on a new journey, known
as the Voyager Insterstellar Mission, to investigate interstellar
space. The spacecraft are expected to return data to NASA for possibly
three more decades. This is an amazing mission for the two spacecraft which were designed to last only five years.

The Voyager spacecraft are fully equipped with cameras, radios,
ultraviolet spectrometers, infrared sensors, plasma detectors,
magnetometers, and cosmic-ray sensors. All of these instruments are
necessary for conducting the variety of investigations and experiments
that the spacecraft can perform.
