Scientific paper

Estimation of the distance of the edge of the solar system from the sun is discussed. Voyager spacecraft observations of radio signals which may be generated when the solar wind collides with interstellar gases are described. The distance of the solar system boundary may be calculated if it is assumed that the source of these signals is the heliopause and that the signals are triggered by the solar wind.
