: Why haven’t we sent more deep space craft like Voyager 2 out? Technology has become much better over the years, so why haven’t there been new a long distance deep space craft?
In: Other
The Voyager craft were launched at a specific date when the planets lined up (as far as a spacecraft is concerned) so that as each planetary flyby occurred the craft could get a slingshot boost meaning that the mission was completed in a relatively short length of time, there was even a rush to get the craft ready in time to match the timing. https://youtu.be/Zu-Sp3I0c1Q
