Next week, for the first time in human history, a human-made object will reach a distance of one light-day from Earth. We're inviting the world to celebrate Voyager 1's major milestone with us. science.nasa.gov/mission/voy…
No other traveler has ever journeyed so far from home. Voyager 1 is about to become the first human-made object to reach a distance of one light-day from Earth, or about 16 billion miles. ½

When students want to continue to grow with us, we are over the moon to be able to offer opportunities such as conferences for them. Read about Eva's experience at the Von Braun Symposium last month in her latest blog! higherorbits.org/evas-von-br… #SpaceInspires #STEM @astrosociety

Our biggest Leo payload yet is heading to the pad. Leo Vulcan 1 (LV-01), our first launch on ULA's Vulcan rocket, is targeting liftoff this Friday, Nov. 13 at 12:54pm ET, carrying 40 satellites on the first of 38 missions with @ulalaunch. New Amazon-funded infrastructure at the Cape enables ULA to prep two Vulcans at once, so LV-02 can follow within weeks of a nominal LV-01 mission. Read more: spr.ly/6016By68j8
