Voyager Spacecraft Diagram - NASA Deep Space Mission Design #245821 (License: Personal Use)

This black-and-white engineering schematic depicts the Voyager spacecraft’s iconic configuration: a large parabolic high-gain antenna for Earth communication, a long magnetometer boom extending horizontally, and three radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) mounted on a central truss. The scan platform holds scientific instruments, and the spacecraft’s orientation control is managed by thrusters and gyroscopes. Designed for the Grand Tour of the outer planets, it remains humanity’s most distant operational probe.

Used in educational, aerospace, and space history contexts-especially on NASA mission pages, astronomy textbooks, or museum exhibits-to illustrate deep-space probe architecture and engineering solutions for long-duration missions beyond the asteroid belt.
