Voyager 2

NASA · launched 20 August 1977

Voyager 2 launched on 20 August 1977, sixteen days before Voyager 1. It is the only spacecraft to have visited Uranus, on 24 January 1986, and Neptune, on 25 August 1989.

Until Neptune it stayed close to the ecliptic. The Neptune flyby threw it south, and that is the dive you see under the plane. It entered interstellar space in November 2018. Like its twin, it has nowhere left to arrive.

The track is JPL Horizons, every five days. South of the ecliptic is the real path.
