Voyager : Golden Record
Hello Dear Occupants of Earth,
I want to talk about the Golden Record of Voyager program because i find it very interesting and important but first of all ;
What is the Voyager program?
The Voyager program is an ongoing scientific program that tasks two robotic probes, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, to study the outer Solar System. They were launched in 1977 to use the positioning of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, and are now investigating the outer limits of the heliosphere in interstellar space. Although their original mission was to study only the planetary systems of Jupiter and Saturn, Voyager 2 continued on to Uranus and Neptune, and both Voyagers are now tasked with investigating interstellar space. Their mission has been extended three times, and both probes continue to collect and relay useful scientific data.
The Voyager spacecrafts were built at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory in Southern California, and they were funded by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), which also funded their launchings from Cape Canaveral, Florida
Golden Record
Both Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts were loaded with the Golden Record. Golden Record contains sounds from earth such as volcanoes,earthquake,thunder,wind,child and his mother,footsteps... It also contains music from Bach,Beethoven,Mozart and many more. Here is the full list of sounds,music and some other cool stuff
Golden Record was designed to serve as a time capsule to convey messages to any civilization, alien or far-future human, that may recover either of the Voyagers.
Trivia: Voyager 2 was actually launched before Voyager 1| Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977 however Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977
