I visited both Voyager 1 and 2... just like I sometimes have to scan iceballs orbiting distant brown dwarfs when I'm exploring.. I just couldn't leave one of them unvisited. 
Voyager 1 & 2 Unidentified Signals
- Thread starter buellpilot
- Start date
I visited before the debug cam arrived but it was well worth the (excruciatingly long) supercruise journey. I grabbed a cup of tea, sat in a loose orbit with flight assist off (felt more homely) and listened to the greetings record play over the radio. Good times, definitely a reason for all humans to visit Sol at least once in their life.
Aha... an elite club that I do belong to... yup been there, back in 1.0

I tried mining it (unsuccessfully)

Found Voyager 2 Probe
More than likely already been done, but I found the Voyager 2 Probe. I though it was pretty cool, can remember when this thing went up in the late 70's. Off to find Voyager 1 now....

Whether or nor it's been found before doesn't matter. It's a cool find either way.
It should still be in Sol system, about 2,000,000ls out. Search for a signal source called "Ancient Probe"

Someone actually has a picture of them destroying it...or trying to! (click spoiler tag to reveal).
On the screenie(s) thread someone shows pictures of the probe, even a close-up of the "Greetings" golden disk fitted to the side. How cool is that?

Voyager 2 was 2,069,858 Ls from Earth
Found Voyager 1 and hour later, it was 2,317,450 Ls from Earth
Both were broadcasting messages in multiple languages
"To all our friends in outer space. May you have a wonderful time exploring it."
and
"I wish to send greetings and friendly wishes to all who encounter this message."
I found Voyager 2 by accident, I came across a unmarked signal 2,069,858 Ls on my way out from Earth / M Gorbachev. Once I found Voyager 2 I had to find Voyager 1, after supercruising around for 20 minutes I found another unmarked signal, then found Voyager 1. Both are in the SOL system
I can go to bed now.....

Thought I'd grab this before I moved on.
Strangely the probe hadn't moved on since I saved the game last night, I thought it would be thousands of miles away in 12 hours.

Rest assured, one day it will be possible to book an excursion to go off and see Voyager. There will probably be a Voyager visitor centre drifting alongside it too.
