Voyager Probes

The Voyager space probes were two unmanned craft launched in 1985. Intended for remote exploration, they were fitted with two forms of propulsion: the powerful but poisonous Queller Drive intended to fire only in deep space, and traditional rocket engines for safe use when near inhabited worlds or vehicles. Voyager 1 launched successfully on traditional rockets, activating its Queller Drive only when it reached a safe distance from Earth. Tragically, Voyager 2 activated its Queller Drive almost immediately after launch, killing everyone and everything within several hundred miles of the launch pad. Any plans for further Queller ships were scrapped.

Fourteen years later, in the episode "Voyager's Return", Earth's moon finds itself in the path of Voyager 1, which is now being followed by several warships from worlds devastated by its faulty Queller Drive.

The Voyager One ' s landing legs are the same as the Airfix Lunar Module.
