NASA will hold a special NASA Science Update at 10 a.m. PDT (1 p.m. EDT) on Thursday, April
28, to discuss the unprecedented journey of NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft to the edge of our solar
system.

The event will be held at NASA Headquarters in Washington and will be broadcast live on NASA
Television and streamed at http://www.nasa.gov . In addition, the event will be carried live on
Ustream, with a live chat box available, at http://www.ustream.tv/nasajpl2 .

After 33 years in space, the spacecraft are still operating and returning data from about 16 billion
kilometers (10 billion miles) away from our sun. The Voyagers also carry a collection of images and
sounds from Earth as a message to possible life elsewhere in the galaxy.

The participants are:
-- Ed Stone, Voyager project scientist and professor of physics, California Institute of Technology,
Pasadena, Calif.
-- Ann Druyan, creative director, Voyager Interstellar Message Project; Carl Sagan's co-author and
widow
-- Suzanne Dodd, Voyager project manager, NASA's Jet Propulsion Laboratory, Pasadena, Calif.
-- Merav Opher, Voyager guest investigator and assistant professor of astronomy, Boston University
