Opinions about Voyager 1 and 2

John Casani
Voyager Project Manager 1975-1977

"Voyager opened our eyes to what was out there in the solar system and provides us a compelling argument for going back with missions like Galileo, Cassini and other missions that will follow"


 
Chris P. Jones
Voyager Fault Protection Engineer (1973-1975)
Voyager Flight S/W System Engineer (1975-1977)
Voyager Spacecraft Team Chief (1978-1981)

"We began the MJS77 Project in 1973 with a stripped down version of the high-tech Outer Planets Grand Tour mission. From those humble beginnings, the two intrepid explorers named Voyager have generated a national pride and identity. Today they're recognizable by all age groups, and no wonder. One can find them referenced in school science texts, in a prominent role in an old Star Trek movie, and even in an image subtly placed on a Moody Blues album
cover."

 
Dr. Edward C. Stone
Voyager Project Scientist (1972-Present)

"The Voyager mission has opened up our solar system in a way not possible before the Space Age." "It revealed our neighbors in the outer solar system and showed us how much there is to learn and how diverse the bodies are that share the solar system with our own planet Earth."
