Voyager 1 launched on 5 September 1977, built and flown by JPL for NASA. It flew past Jupiter in 1979 and Saturn in 1980, where a close flyby of the haze-covered moon Titan took priority over any further planetary encounters and bent its trajectory up and out of the plane of the planets.
Its imaging cameras discovered volcanoes on Jupiter's moon Io and resolved the structure of Saturn's rings; on 14 February 1990, at Carl Sagan's urging, they turned back and took the "Pale Blue Dot" portrait of Earth. Like its twin it carries the Golden Record.
In August 2012 Voyager 1 crossed into interstellar space, and it remains the most distant human-made object, still returning data under a mission whose project scientist for fifty years was Edward C. Stone. Carolyn Porco served on its imaging team early in her career.
