For 12 years Voyager 2 has soared through the

solar systems, sending back spectacular photos of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Heptune, along ith sore than five trillion bits of scientific data.

Fleering Joqager cithin 3000 piles of the planet's cloud tops, at 61148 s.p.h., required some of the most complicated engineering ASS has ever undertaken. for years flight jockeys at JPL, ohere the craft oas desiqned and built, had fine tuned its trajectory. Qhen Joyager finglig reached Heptune, it oas just 21 piles aide of chere the scientists expected it to be - the cosaic equioaient of sinking a 2260 aile putt. “Not bad shooting", said project manager Horsan Haqnes.

Qoer the next years, HASH's cosputer aces had radioed up so sang improvements to the on-board computer that the craft had essentially received a long-distance brain transplant aany tines, (This oas only possible because of 1377 vintage 8 bit. “Little Computer that Could” had only 64k of addressable mesory, Program sanagers stated that fad the craft contained todays higher tech i6 or 32 bit processors, vith all the BAM that they can address, their programmers gould have had an even sore sonusental task for, as pro- qrapaers are given sore space to orite in, they feel compelled to use as such of it as they possibly can!]

4s Yoyaqer closed in on Neptune, JPL engineers gorked round the clock to radio instructions. But they did not knoo the exact location of the debris encircling the planet. Since it takes over four hours for signals to travel betoeen Earth and Heptune, there oas no chance for last- ainute fixes: a collision could have doomed the aission. Fortunately, Voyager sanaged to avoid the orbiting junk.

The data arrived on a radio signal so peak - ten quadrillionth of a oatt - that 38 giant radio antennas on four continents cere used to catch Voyager's ghispered sessage. And ghat a message it gas. Heptune turned out to be a dynamic, storsy gorld. Cloaked in a thick haze of hydrogen and helius, the planet is streaked by 1800 a.p.h. vinds that push clouds of frozen wethane. 4 tremendous stors system, a counter- cyclone as big across as Earth and christened the Great Dark Spot, sarks the southern hesi- sphere.

Voyager's vieo of Neptune vas almost upstaged by the planet's largest soon, Triton, called “the post curious thing ae've ever seen” by Voyager geologist Laurence Soderbloa. Already kngon as an astronomical renegade because it is the only large soon in the solor system chose orbit is in the opposite direction of its parent planet's rotation. Triton shoved a face mottled like the finest Italian pink marble.

Triton seesed to have a history like ice creas carried home in fugust: frozen, selted, then frozen again. Perhaps it once vas a planet, only to be draon out of its solar orbit by Heptune's gravitational esbrace. (Voyager 2 found signs of icy volcanisa and rough patches caused by Tritons Quakes. It found siz previ- ously unknoon soons around Blue Heptune bringing

the knoon total to eight. The spacecraft aiso discovered at least four rings around the planet. Said Voyager geologist Laurence Soderblos:

“Qhat a aay to leave the soiar systea!“]

The neo finds came so quickly that traing to make sense of thea all gas like trying to drink fros ¢ fire hose. The solar systes's ogiolent historg is no-Ghere sore evident than in the rings and soons Vouager kept discovering, first around Jupiter and Saturn, then Uranus and Neptune. “Voyager focused our attention on the isportance of col- lision”, says chief progect scientist Edoard Stone. Each cosaic crash, a potent sculptor of the solar systes, gould produce a different kind of ring, Tanging from the lusinous bands around Saturn*to the 11 narrog, sharply bounded rings of Uranus.

The prisary sission noo completed, Voyager 2's caperas, infrared detector and photopolariseter gas turned off in the latter part of 1990, The electricity conserved oill power instrusents that Gill seasure the exotic fields and subatosic particles littering the route to interstellar space. By 2020, Voyager 2 oill probably fall Silent, rts generators too feeble to pover cos- aunications. In the year 40,176 it should cone oithin 1.7 light years fone light year equals siz trillion ailes - the distance light travels in one year] of the star Boss 248, a cool, red speck of tuinkling gas. In the year 236,036, Voyager 2 gill pass githin ¥.3 light years of Sirius.

The chances are saall, but one of these stars Bight have a planet aith beings intelligent enough to detect the ting, silent canderer. If they retrieve Joqager, they cill find, sounted on its side, a gold plated copper disc, complete vith stylus and cartridge. If they figure out hoo to play it, theg gill hear greetings in 60 Earth lanquages and one ohale dialect, as cell as the natural sounds of the planet - thunder clap- ping, frogs croaking and a neoborn baby crying.

If the craft ercounters no one, it oill float forever through the Milky Qay, an esissary of the curious earthlings vho launched it, hoping to aqke their sark in the vastness of cossic tine.
