As Voyager 1’s mission draws to a close, one planetary scientist reflects on its legacy

Fran Bagenal is a planetary scientist at the Laboratory for Atmospheric and Space Physics (LASP) at CU Boulder. She started working on the Voyager mission during a summer student job in the late 1970s and has followed the two spacecraft closely since. To celebrate Voyager 1, Bagenal reflects on the mission’s legacy — and which planet she wants to visit again.
