Five Years
Initially, NASA had sent these Voyager probes into space in 1977 and intended on these spacecrafts working for five years. However, the mission’s objectives of observing the outer solar system were achieved seamlessly, which eventually led to the crafts entering interstellar space.
A New Mission
NASA is now planning a new mission. Their goal is to build upon the pioneering work that the Voyager probes have already undertaken. The Interstellar Mapping and Acceleration Probe is scheduled for 2024.
