Mariner Jupiter Saturn 1977, 30 May 1975. [Description from photo index.]. Twenty years ago this month the first of two Voyager spacecraft was launched on a Grand Tour of four of the Outer Planets, the Gas Giants. Voyager 1 and 2 are still traveling, now leaving the Solar System, their planetary encounters completed. NASA and JPL initially referred to this long term project as the Mariner-Jupiter-Saturn 1977 Project (MJS '77).

Shown here is an artist's rendering of Voyager after it had encountered Jupiter and, with a gravity assist, approached Saturn. [Artwork is not signed, but is very similar to work by Ken Hodges.].
