AAIA Banquet 2024: History and Travels of Voyager I and II

Come join the American Institute of Aeronautics and Astronautics-SF for food and fun at our 2024 Annual Banquet on November 23^rd. Help us celebrate with this year’s Section Awards winners. Your ticket includes lunch, admission to the Chabot Space & Science Center and its exhibits, and a presentation from our special guest Todd Barber about the long history, and ongoing travels, of the Voyager 1 & 2 spacecraft.

Voyagers 1 and 2 started off on an ambitious journey to explore the outer planets in our solar system, including two that had not been visited before. Along the way, they made many incredible discoveries. Now, more than 47 years later, they continue to perform an important role in interplanetary science. But their explorations have not been without challenges; in recent months, there have been issues that threatened the continuation of their mission. Come hear an overview of the Voyager program, and the ingenious ways that NASA overcomes obstacles to keep the spacecraft running.

Speaker: Todd Barber, Jet Propulsion Lab

Event is from 12:00 to 2:00 but Chabot admission is included (10:00 AM - 5:00 PM)
