Voyager 2 data up through September 9, 2012


Specific Events


Voyager Data Overview

These plots show 50-day averages of the solar wind speed, density, and temperature over the life of the Voyager mission (from 1977 to the present), and 1-day averages over the last three years, respectively. The density shown is normalized to Earth by multiplying by the distance to Voyager in AU squared.


Speed plots

2007-2008:


2012, to date:


2015, to date:

These plots show hourly averages of the solar wind speeds measured by Voyager 2.


Voyager 2 Solar Wind Dynamic Pressure

These plots show hourly averages of the solar wind dynamic pressure observed by Voyager 2 over the entire mission (100-day averages) and over the last four years (25-day averages), respectively. These pressures are normalized to 1 AU by multiplying by the square of the spacecraft's distance.
