Question

Whats the difference between the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 Space crafts?

Answer 1

Voyager 2 is an unmanned interplanetary spacecraft launched on August 20, 1977. Identical in form to its sister Voyager program craft, Voyager 1, Voyager 2 followed a slower trajectory that allowed it to be kept in the ecliptic (the plane of the Solar System) so that it could be sent to Uranus and Neptune by means of gravity assist during the 1981 encounter at Saturn. Because of this trajectory, Voyager 2 could not see the moon Titan up close as its twin had, but the probe did become the first and only spacecraft to travel to Uranus and Neptune, thus completing the Planetary Grand Tour, a rare geometric arrangement of the outer planets that only occurs once every 176 years.

Answer 2

The spacecrafts are identical.  I believe VII has a golden disk with recording from Earth and graphics of humans and the solar system.

Originally departed with the same trajectory.  VII continued after Saturn for Uranus and Neptune.  VI when a different trajectory after Saturn.

Answer 3

Not much, physically.

Voyager 2 was launched first.  Voyager 1 is going faster due to a better gravity assist at Jupiter.  Voyager 1 was diverted to inspect Titan closely, so didn't pass by Uranus and Neptune as Voyager 2 did.  Because Voyager 1 is moving away from the Sun faster, it's also farther from the Sun.  Voyager 1 snapped the portrait of the solar system pictures.  Very cool stuff.  And, as active missions, there is more to come.

These missions have been fabulous.  They're worth checking out in detail.
