Voyager 1 was a probe launched by NASA on Earth in the 20th century.
History[]
NASA approved six Voyager series probes in May 1972. All probes in the series 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")
Voyager 1 was launched 5 September 1977. It conducted planetary scientific observations during flybys of Jupiter on 5 March 1979 and Saturn on 12 November 1980. (ST reference: Spaceflight Chronology, historical accounts)
When Voyager visited Saturn in 1980 it discovered a hexagon storm in the planet's atmosphere.
In 2020, Shaun Christopher noticed a difference between the original pictures of the storm sent to Earth by Voyager 1 and the storm of that time. (TOS novel: The Rings of Time)
