Space Probe

The Voyagers must be doing more than 61 kph, surely? They were doing nearly 40,000 mph in the solar system... source

The error is extrememy tiny and could be due to so many things including nearby black dwarf stars or black holes. It will not be resolved until we launch a whole array of gravitational field probes way outside the solar system. source

Just got me a Coolermaster Aerogate II - I was wondering if anybody has any advice on how I should attach the various thermal probes supplied with this device. Could anyone suggest a suitable tape and offer suggestions on placement, particularly the CPU sensor. Obviously I can't just chuck it bewteen the CPU core and the heatsink - could I perhaps place it along the edge of the processor, next to the core? source

Also, note that it's not always a good idea to stop them, even when you find out how to. It won't be long before your ship will be able to vaporize them in the blink of an eye, and they give you 550 RU each! source

But people been tracking it for 30 years, we know it's direction of motion and can just extrapolate a path from that, the distance has to be along that path. If you look at Squink's link, you can see that over the course of a year, the distance to each of the two Voyagers fluctuates due to the Earth approaching each of their trajectories. I believe that if you did a straight distance calculation over the time of year and aligned the results in 3D space, you would have a very linear trajectory- but the scientists have been doing this continuously so I would expect just from extrapolation they would be nearly bang on top of it to begin with. source
