Orbit: Decayed: Mission:      On 13 August 2006 at 21h13 UT, Voyager 1 reached 100 AU from the Sun. Pioneer 10 is at 91.2 AU, Voyager 2 is at 80.4 AU and Pioneer 11 at 70.4 AU. Notes: On 22 April 1965, NASA selected three industrial firms with which to negotiate similar preliminary design contracts for a Voyager spacecraft to undertake unmanned scientific exploration of the planets: the Boeing Co., General Electric Co., and TRW Space Technology Labs. The three-month, fixed-price contracts would each be worth about $500,000.
