voyager spacecraft

The Voyager 1 was launched from earth 36 years ago. Since 1977, the spacecraft has been on a journey and recently it reached its destination. The probe is about 12 billion miles from the sun.

It has a 8-track data recorder and a 23 watt transmitter
 (the power of a refrigerator light bulb)  and a nuclear battery! Mission controllers receive data from Voyager daily!
