Voyager Program
Voyager 2
Vehicle: Titan IIIE | Launch Site: Cape Canaveral Space Force Station
Scientific Instrumentation Payload
Identical to its sister probe, Voyager 2 carried 11 instruments to map planetary dynamics and plasma fields, which were critical for its Uranus and Neptune encounters.
Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS)
Dual camera setup for planetary geology mapping and satellite discovery.
Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS)
Used to measure thermal structures and chemical profiles of gaseous planetary atmospheres.
Low Energy Charged Particle (LECP)
Mapped the radiation belts and planetary magnetospheres of all four gas giants.
Cosmic Ray System (CRS)
Monitored energetic protons and electrons in outer planetary spaces.
Plasma Detector (PLS)
Evaluated solar wind flow speeds and densities.
Photopolarimeter Subsystem (PPS)
Analyzed aerosol properties and planetary ring structural details.
