This publication describes, with numerous illustrations, the Voyager mission to explore the giant outer planets of our solar system. Scientific highlights include interplanetary cruise, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and their vast satellite and ring systems. Detailed plans are provided for the August 1989 Neptune encounter and subsequent interstellar journey to reach the heliopause. As background, the elements of an unmanned space mission are explained, with emphasis on the capabilities of the spacecraft and the scientific sensors. Other topics include the Voyager Grand Tour trajectory design, deep-space navigation, and gravity-assist concepts. The Neptune flyby is animated through the use of computer-generated, flip-page movie frames. Useful historical information is also presented, including remarkable or gee-whiz facts associated with the Voyager mission. Finally, short summaries are provided to describe the major objectives and schedules for several exciting space missions planned for the remainder of the 20th century.
