the Voyager spacecrafts, namely Voyager 1 and Voyager 2, are still traveling through space. Here are the approximate distances and velocities of each spacecraft at that time:

  1. Voyager 1: Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977. it was approximately 22.8 billion kilometers (14.2 billion miles) away from Earth. Voyager 1 is traveling at a velocity of about 61,000 kilometers per hour (38,000 miles per hour) relative to the Sun.

  2. Voyager 2: Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977. it was roughly 18.8 billion kilometers (11.7 billion miles) away from Earth. Voyager 2 has a velocity of around 57,000 kilometers per hour (35,000 miles per hour) relative to the Sun.

It's important to note that these distances and velocities are constantly changing due to the motion of the spacecraft and the gravitational influences of various celestial bodies they encounter along their trajectories. Therefore, the current distances and velocities may differ from the values provided here. To obtain the most up-to-date information, I recommend checking with the official NASA website or other reliable sources dedicated to tracking the Voyager spacecrafts.
