Voyager 1 probe proves you can teach old tech new tricks

Far away, 13 billion miles from Earth, there is a tiny man-made spacecraft drifting away from Earth and everything that we know. This spacecraft, Voyager 1, has travelled further than anything else humans have made, learning about the deepest parts of our solar system and now beyond. It is our first foray into interstellar space, with the spacecraft having left the comfort of our solar System.

We sent Voyager 1 off on its journey 40 years ago for an important mission. It visited and studied the biggest planets of our solar system and their moons for the first time. Then, the spacecraft was to travel further and faster than any other human Spacecraft.
