    I read many years ago that a function was held in 1983, to mark the occasion when Pioneer 10, the first Jupiter probe, launched on March 2, 1972, passed a greater distance than the orbit of Neptune, at that point more distant than Pluto, because of Pluto's more elliptical orbit, and was considered to have exited the solar system. A NASA official asked the CEO of TRW Systems, Inc., the contractor which built the spacecraft, whether Pioneer 10 was still under warranty. His reply was, 'Yes. You return the spacecraft to the factory and we'll fix it.'

    I think it extremely likely that most of our early interstellar efforts, including both Voyagers, will be recovered and returned to become museum exhibits in the next 100 to 300 years. Given the current rate of advancement in our ability to travel continues, a recovery mission is unlikely to be a significant investment or undertaking a few centuries from now.

    You would not need to send a craft to retrieve Voyager. You would program Voyager to partly 'return' to Earth, even though its signalling devices would expire en route. Then you would send a craft to intercept it for the sole purpose of deploying a device (or devices) that follow the Voyager _(or possibly even attach to the voyager)._ Then the craft-devices would thereby continually inform the Earth where the Voyager is. At some later point, a second craft could be made to then go get Voyager.

The em wave is very non specific and non directional. If there are multiple repeater satellites sitting on different orbits to cover each other in case the planet itself blocking the communication, in this case, eg the deep space satellite dishes, the signal from the voyagers could still transmissible. And, similarly, if same concept applies and more repeater satellites deployed to Jupiter, Neptune.... or their moon, that could help relaying the signal from deep space beyond heliopause. It’s just a concept. I don’t know much about heliopause.

    Voyager twins, 1 & 2.
    Together with their twin siblings, Pioneers F & G, which, in flight, became Pioneers 10 & 11. Four ground-breaking missions!!
    This would have been kind of a pointless video, based just on the title.
    But that title was a splendid and very welcome entrée to a review of how great the Voyagers (and Pioneers) were.
    I remember when they were awaiting launch; and then when they all made their fly-by's, how incredibly exciting the results were!
    Not just the pictures, but all of it, down to the particles & fields instrument findings.
    And I remember regretting that they couldn't work Pluto (still considered a planet then) into the flight plan, because it was so clearly going to be different from those 4 gas giants, and from our inner-Solar-System, rocky quartet.
    And then, how great it was when that gap in knowledge was closed decades later, by New Horizons.

    It has never been the intent to bring it back. That has never been it's point. It's point was to go away. What is the point of this video?

    What an utterly pointless video. You've spent 8 minutes and 43 seconds answering a question no one has ever asked 🤷🏼‍♂️

      Actually, a lot of people have asked this and that's exactly why I created this video. It just explains how enormously hard, if not impossible, it would be if someone tried to bring it back.

      @@Cosmoknowledge I think the better question is why... Why would we ever conceivably benefit from a mission dedicated to retrieving voyager. If we had the capability it wouldn't be worth it, because it would be a tourist destination because at that point space travel would be a norm like getting on a plane today.

      @@Cosmoknowledge No one has asked this question. The Voyager craft were designed from the ground up to be throwaways. There was never any intention to either stop or bring either of them back. That's what the gold discs they carry are about, to communicate with any possible intelligences finding them as they passed forever beyond our reach.
      However you at least have completed your mission, to get comments and clicks on your blatherings. Well done.

    Dude, you're talking about a robotic spacecraft with a cluster of ion engines, a couple of large regular engines, a mechanical arm, and automatic straps that would secure the probe once it had been captured. Once that happens you light up the big engines to bring the speed down to near zero and then turn the ion engines back on and bring it home. At the right distance the spacecraft flips end for end and slows down to intercept Earth. There it waits in orbit until a craft that can return it safely to the ground is constructed.
    As for the cost, it wouldn't be very expensive since you're not trying to send people after the probe. You could even build a disposable booster in space that would give it a major speed boost so that it gets to Voyager 1 in less than 15 years

    Of course we will bring it back, its hardly moved anywhere, one day our technology will get to that stage that it will be easy to go and pick up the voyager,to bring it back to earth and to plant it in some museum.

    Yes, there was a documentary on this called Star Trek The Motion Picture.

    Very symbolic that the video is a little over 8 minutes long
    Approximately the length of time it takes for light from the Sun's surface to reach the Earth
    Cool video
    I knew the answer to the question but the video is packed with information

    It's kinda sad, isn't it..... I mean, we all be long gone but they'll keep voyaging through the cosmos, exploring the vast unknown by themselves.

      Maybe we'll not be long gone. Maybe we'll just be something else.
