Voyager 1 Essay

The two Voyagers launched by NASA are travelling in different places at the heliosphere and some consider that they have left the heliosphere and are swimming in the interstellar medium. The data sent by the Voyagers are not same. There is change is one or other form. Though launched 4 months after Voyager 2 , Voyager 1 reached the planetary system ahead than the Voyager 2 so due to the difference in time of the data taken and the position where data is taken, the data are different from the two voyagers which is helping to better understand the factors such as solar wind, plasma velocity and many more. This literature review mainly focuses on the data sent by the Voyagers, their implications and some differences in the data as mentioned by the authors who have worked in this field already. The article are selected on the basis of the work mentioned relating to the data sent by voyager during its encounter with Jupiter and Saturn and also during its travel in heliosheath and termination shock. The review features the history and previous studies done on the implications of data sent by the Voyagers. …show more content…
The spectrometers in the voyagers have observed various target till now. The Ultraviolet spectrometers present helps to observe the planetary system in the region of 500 to 1700 angstrom. And this spectrometers are the main source of data for the scientist at the earth. As per NASA, the spectrometer cover the field view of 0°.1 * 0°.87 with spectral resolution of 38 angstrom for diffuse source and 18 angstrom for point source. The data by these spectrometers have helped scientist predict about the possible atmosphere outside heliosheath and to improve their pre assumptions, which is going to be talked in the next
