The Voyager Line

Our mark traces Voyager 2's Grand Tour — the only object to visit all four giant planets, now one of the farthest human-made objects in interstellar space. It got there on almost nothing: a planetary alignment that comes once every 175 years, a launch window that wouldn't wait, and barely enough fuel to leave. The answer wasn't more power. It was a smarter line — slingshotting off each world's gravity to reach the next. Constraints didn't limit the voyage. They designed it. The Voyager crafts are the inspiration for how we build: with innovation, purpose, ambition, and a respect for constraints — for the long haul.

Drawing notes

  • Trajectory: cubic Bézier, three segments. Stroke 2.1.
  • Earth rendered in cover-blue (#3d6b82); all other bodies in ink.
  • Saturn ring inclined −24°.
  • Gravity assist at each body — the line is bent by what it passes, not fought against it.
