“…The use of a Voyager spacecraft (Draper et al, 1975), with its greater amount of power, onboard computer capability, and precision pointing, permits the use of remote sensing instrumentation which is more sophisticated than that of the Pioneer spin-stabilized spacecraft (Fimmel et al, 1976). As shown in Figures 3 and 4, instruments to support eleven scientific investigations will be carried aboard each spacecraft.…”

The Voyager Neptune/Interstellar Mission is the continuation of the NASA program of exploration of the outer solar system. The prior phases of the Voyager program included encounters with Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus as summarized in the Journal of Geophysical Research (volume 86, pages 8121–8841, 1981; volume 88, pages 8625–9018, 1983; and volume 92, pages 14,873–15,375, 1987). Following the successes of these prior phases of the Voyager mission, a new phase was undertaken with the objectives of exploring the Neptune system and continuing the investigation of the interplanetary and interstellar media. An additional objective was to preserve the capability to extend the investigations to include a search for the heliopause. Summaries of results from the Neptune and Triton encounters are reported in the following papers.

In order to address the wide range of scientific objectives of the mission, NASA selected the eleven scientific investigations listed in Table 1. The locations of the instruments are shown in Figure 1, with their nominal characteristics indicated in Table 2. Five of the instruments (the narrow and wide angle cameras, the infrared and ultraviolet spectrometers, and the photopolarimeter) are mounted on the articulated scan plat form and are boresighted. More detailed descriptions of the investigations can be found in Space Science Reviews (21, 1977), as can a detailed description of the mission design and the selection of the trajectories at Jupiter and Saturn.
