Voyager was the name given to at least six unmanned Terran space probes built and launched in the late 20th century by NASA, the space exploration agency of the United States of America, to explore the Sol system and beyond.
History[]
NASA approved six probes in the series in May 1972. All were built to virtually the same specifications, each consisting of 65 thousand individual parts. Those included a thermoelectric power generator, plasma and cosmic ray detectors, and a memory bank capable of holding 500 million bits. (Star Trek: The Magazine vol. 2, Issue 8: "Briefing: V'Ger")
By the late 2260s, several of these probes had been recovered by warp-powered vessels in deep space. Captain Anne Gauvreau received fifty kilocredits from the Smithsonian Institution for at least one such recovered probe. (TOS novel: Prime Directive)
