The Voyager Mission Updates

From 1977 to 1990, the Jet Propulsion Laboratory kept scientists and space enthusiasts informed about the status of the twin Voyager spacecraft through an intermittently printed newsletter that ran to 99 issues. Space fan (and pack rat!) Tom Faber kept his collection and, in 2010, scanned them and sent them to the Planetary Society. We are delighted to host these important historical documents here, and thank Mr. Faber for his patience in scanning them.

Each Mission Status Bulletin is in PDF format, scanned in black and white at 200 DPI, amounting to about 1 Megabyte per page. Bulletins 1 to 27 appear dark because they were printed on colored paper. The subsequent ones were printed on white but thinner paper. So far, Bulletins 1 to 42, covering the period from before launch to after Voyager 1's Jupiter encounter, are online; the rest are coming soon. Bulletin 43, which fell between the two spacecraft's encounters with Jupiter, is missing. Bulletins 44 to 99 will be posted here soon.
