Abstract

I was fortunate to be involved as an undergraduate assistant for the Jupiter flyby in 1979, as a grad student for the Uranus pass in 1986, and working as a post-doctoral researcher when Voyager 2 had its final planetary encounter, with Neptune in 1989. Between 1979 and 1989, the two Voyagers visited Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune, in brief flybys lasting just a few days each. COLUMNS / DEPARTMENTS EXPLORING THE SOLAR SYSTEM is a long game, with travel times measured in years. [Extracted from the article]
