Quick Scoop

Here’s the speed in different units so it’s easier to picture:

  • About 17 km/s.
  • About 61,000–61,200 km/h.
  • About 38,000 mph.
  • It covers roughly 3.5–3.6 astronomical units (Earth–Sun distances) per year.

At this pace, Voyager 1 adds hundreds of millions of kilometers to its distance from Earth every year and is on track to be about one light-day away from Earth in November 2026.
