| 3 | 1 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | Basically, the main goal of these probes is space exploration and discovering. Meanwhile, several missions are defined as listed below: |
| 4 | 1 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | |
| 5 | 1 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * Exploration of the solar system |
| 6 | 1 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * Exploration of the outer limit on sun’s sphere of influence |
| 7 | 1 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * Search for Heliopause boundary |
| 8 | 1 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * Search about the outer limits of the sun’s magnetic field and the outer flow of the solar wind |
| 9 | 1 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * Measurement of the interstellar fields, particles and waves unaffected by the solar wind |

| 16 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | Since 39 years travelling, Voyager 1 & 2 accomplished most of their goals. Below there are several examples about these discoveries. |
| 17 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | |
| 18 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * Active volcanoes and complex cloud forms in Jupiter’s moon |
| 19 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * Complex discoveries about Saturn’s ring |
| 20 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * 10 additional moons discovered around Uranus |
| 21 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * 3 complete rings and 6 unknown moons around Neptune |
| 22 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * Exploring the outermost edge of the sun domain’s and beyond |
| 23 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * In 1980 Nov. 12, Voyager 1 Began the trip out of the solar system |
| 24 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | * 2012 Aug. 25 Voyager 1 entered the interstellar Space |

| 26 | 5 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | Otherwise, Voyager 1 has enough electric power and thrust to operate until at least 2020, after deactivating some On-board subsystems such as the On-board camera which was deactivated 25 years ago. |
| 27 | 4 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | |
| 28 | 5 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | But by 2025, almost instruments sending worthwhile information will be turned off. Then the probes will keep traveling across stars. And in 296000 years, Voyager 2 will pass 4.3 light-years (25 trillion miles) from Sirius, the brightest star in the sky. |
| 29 | 5 | ABDALLAH, Hussein | Experts assume that the eternal destination for these probes may be the Milky Way. |
