The observance will take place at the Smithsonian\u2019s museum located at Independence Avenue at 6th street SW in Washington. The event will be broadcast live on NASA Television and streamed on the agency\u2019s website.<\/p>\n

Activities will include panel discussions about the Voyagers\u2019 creation and mission history, their unprecedented science findings and imagery, impact on Earth\u2019s culture and how the spacecraft inspired countless scientists, engineers and the next generation of explorers. The event also will include a galactic message transmitted toward the Voyager 1 spacecraft by a celebrity guest.<\/p>\n

The Voyagers\u2019 original mission was to explore Jupiter and Saturn. Although the twin spacecraft are now far beyond the planets in the solar system, NASA continues to communicate with them daily as they explore the frontier where interstellar space begins.<\/p>\n
