    It is powered by three radioisotope thermoelectric generators**. Of course, after flying out of the solar system, it is accelerated by the gravitational adjustment orbit of other planets.

    is the initial power of its launch. Because outer space is an environment infinitely close to a vacuum, when Voyager 1 flies out of Earth, there is almost nothing that can slow it down under normal circumstances, except for a weak gravitational pull from the solar system, so that it can maintain the same direction and speed forever, which is what Newton's first law of motion describes.

    Inertia. Because the universe is vacuum, there is no friction, so Voyager 1 will continue to fly because of inertia.

    Voyager 1 was launched in September 1977, 40 years after leaving Earth, and has now flown to the edge of the solar system, which is the Oort cloud region, and continues to fly towards another star system, never to return to Earth.

    According to Newton's laws of motion, a space exploration vehicle can fly out of the solar system as long as its speed exceeds the third cosmic velocity, and this speed is calculated according to the centrifugal force of the vehicle around the sun and the gravitational force with the sun, specifically kilometers and seconds, and the speed of Voyager 1 has now reached more than 17 kilometers and seconds, exceeding the speed.

    Voyager 1 is powered to reach the third cosmic velocity at launch, and it also carries some fuel for acceleration, orbit change and power generation.

    As Voyager 1 flew out of the solar system, it encountered many celestial bodies along the way, such as Jupiter and Saturn, which were not captured by these objects because they were too fast, and sometimes used gravity to gain higher speeds.

    Due to the distance is too far away, the radio signal is seriously attenuated, and it is very difficult for Voyager 1 to communicate with the earth, and the signal needs to go through more than 17 hours to reach the earth, how the United States did it is unknown, and this is the technology 40n ago.

    The country did so much 40 years ago, but it has long been wiped out, and the two points of power and resistance to friction seem to be unsolvable problems now, and the Americans themselves have an analysis of whether they have ever landed on the moon. If the things of 40n ago are really still there, then there must be better and newer things coming out now, anyway, you can't trust them all, right? "

    Voyager 1 is powered to reach the third cosmic velocity at launch, and it also carries some fuel for acceleration, orbit change and power generation. "These few sentences are very wrong, which means that you don't understand at all, the initial velocity at launch is only kilometers per second, and the reason why you can accelerate to it is because you skip the borrowing force when you skip the planets, which is why every planet passes. The raw materials brought by itself are basically only used for orbit change, how can it be used to generate electricity? Electricity generation is electricity generated by solar panels, and radioactive elements are also used to generate electricity, how can it be an engine, there was no plasma engine at that time.

    Each time Voyager 1 passes by a massive object, it is attracted by the gravitational pull of that object and thrown out, eventually flying out of the solar system.

    Voyager 1 mainly relies on solar panels on its surface to absorb sunlight and convert it into electricity to provide the power to fly out of the solar system, thus flying out of the solar system.

    Voyager 1 flew not a light year. There is not a single light year. Another 10 years of flight is less than a light year.

    Because 1 light year = kilometer. Voyager 1 has flown about 22 billion kilometers, and Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977, and has been flying for 44 years. Since its launch, it has been accelerated several times by the gravitational slingshot effect of the planet, reached the third cosmic velocity, and has broken free from the gravitational shackles of the sun, and is currently traveling through the universe at 17 kilometers per second.

    Voyager 1 is an unmanned outer solar system space probe developed by NASA. Weighing 815 kilograms, it is the farthest artificial satellite from the Earth. Voyager 1's main goal was to explore Jupiter and Saturn, their moons and Saturn's rings.

    The mission has now been changed to the detection of the solar wind summit and the measurement of particles in the solar wind. Voyager 1 carried a copper-plated disk record and diamond phonograph pin, and even after 1 billion years, the sound quality of this record will not be any different.

    22 light hours, not yet 1 light day!

    Voyager 1 uses Lian'an fuel and thermonuclear power, which can ** between 2040 and 2050, when Voyager 1 will lose contact with humanity in the universe.

    Voyager 1 has been flying for 41 years, using a plutonium isotope battery that has been able to contact and transmit signals for many years, and in a different environment in the outer solar system, the signals received by the vehicle have changed, according to which it is believed to have flown into the interstellar medium.

    Two nuclear batteries, which can support Voyager 1 to fly until 2025, once the battery is depleted, Voyager 1 can no longer send data back to Earth.

    As of April 4, 2007, Voyager 1 was at a distance of solar terameters (i.e., meters or kilometers or astronomical units or 100 million miles) and entered the solar sheath, the region of terminal shockwaves between the solar system and interstellar matter.

    His flight speed is accelerated by the gravitational pull of Saturn and Jupiter, and then he flies away from the solar system.

    His battery is powered by three radioisotope thermoelectric generators** and will work until 2020.

    Test the data transmitted by his power supply.

    First of all, because there is almost a vacuum between the stars, there is no resistance, and interstellar probes such as Voyager 1 launch from the Earth do not need much power on their own, they will move at a constant speed and direction, and at the same time benefit from several gravitational acceleration during their voyage (the slingshot effect when passing by Saturn and Jupiter). The power it carries is only used for changing orbits and adjusting flight attitudes. In this way, Voyager 1 consumes more energy than it flies out of the solar system, and it can also be supplemented by solar energy.

    The batteries on Voyager 1 are two nuclear batteries (plutonium batteries), which will allow it to continue flying until 2025. Once the battery runs out, they stop working (lose contact with the ground), but will continue to move towards the center of the galaxy and never come back.

    The sun, and the solar wind, now away from the sun, the energy is getting weaker and weaker, and there are already a lot of devices that can't work...

We all know that the earth is the only planet where human beings can live and live until now, and the number of people living on the earth is also very large. However, with the development of science and technology, human beings have gradually shifted their attention to other planets, hoping to find a "second earth", and at the same time, they also hope to find other alien civilizations in addition to human civilization. So, humans invented Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 to explore space. >>>More
