how much does the high-gain radio dish on Voyager 2 weigh
The Voyager 2 high-gain antenna dish weighs about 3.7 kg? No β the published spacecraft sources I found confirm the dish is about 3.7 m in diameter , but they do not give a clear dish-only weight in the material I could verify here.
What I can say confidently is:
- Voyager 2βs total launch mass was about 722 kg.
- Its high-gain antenna is the large 3.7 m parabolic dish used for communication.
So the best verified answer from the available sources is: the dishβs exact weight wasnβt stated, but the spacecraft itself launched at roughly 722 kg.
