Project Voyager was a dual spacecraft long-range mission that conducted a "Grand Tour" of the Outer Planets. The spacecraft took advantage of a rare planetary alignment that occurs every 176 years. The huge distance between the planets was overcome by using gravity-assisted trajectories to take advantage of the planetary alignment. The project, originally called "Mariner Jupiter/Saturn 1977" (MJS77) was approved by the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) and Congress in June 1972. MJS77 was renamed Voyager in 1977, slightly before the first launch date.
