Voyager 2 is one of the space vehicles still in service with the longest mission. This is the appearance of the phenomenal plane.

Saturn is one of the planets targeted by Voyager 2.
Unexpectedly, Voyager 2 turned out to be able to continue to go far, even to Neptune.
Not to forget, he also visited Uranus.
As of October 2021, Voyager 2 has been operating for more than 44 years and covered a distance of more than 19 billion kilometers.
Information from him traveling at the speed of light took about 16.5 hours to reach Earth.
Voyager 2 also bears the status of a space vehicle that is still operating with the longest mission. As mentioned, he's been on 44 missions since his orbit.
Most special, Voyager 2 has also penetrated the outermost layer of the Solar System in 2018, following Voyager 1 which did so in 2012.
Where do you think Voyager 2 will go? Until recently, he had continued to walk away from Earth. If he continues to survive, he may reach the stars but it will still take another 42,000 years.
