So, Voyager was hurled into the Delta Quadrant by the Caretaker's array, getting stranded at 70000 lightyears from Earth. This was supposed to be a trip of approximately 70 years (Caretaker (1.1/1.2)) at standard warp (probably Warp 5 = 125 * lightspeed).

How far was Voyager from Federation space?

Voyager on DVD. The wildly successful Star Trek franchise continues as Capt. Kathryn Janeway and the crew of the U.S.S. Voyager follow a Maquis ship into the Badlands, and one species-saving decision later, find themselves in the Delta Quadrant, 70,000 light years away from the Alpha Quadrant, the Federation, and home.

Why would it take Voyager 75 years to get home?

In Star Trek: Voyager, it is stated that it will take 75 years to travel 70,000 light years to reach Federation space. It is stated that the Voyager can sustain a maximum crusing speed of warp 9.975.

How did Voyager get home so fast?

Newly upgraded, Voyager was able to devastate the Borg Collective -- although that came at the expense of Admiral Janeway's life -- and used a transwarp corridor to return to the Alpha Quadrant in seven years.

What happened to the USS Voyager after it returned to Earth?

What happened to Star Trek: Voyager? The show had a successful 7 season run. The ship got stuck on the other side of the galaxy and had to work its way back, which it did. Following its return home, the USS Voyager, NCC 74656 was likely decommissioned and handed over to SF Engineering.

STAR TREK : QUADRANTS EXPLAINED

Why is warp 10 impossible?

At Warp 10, the exponent (and the speed) would be infinite, so you could never reach this value.

Where will Voyager be in 300 years?

It will take about 300 years for Voyager 1 to reach the inner edge of the Oort Cloud and possibly about 30,000 years to fly beyond it. Alpha Centauri is currently the closest star to our solar system. But, in 40,000 years, Voyager 1 will be closer to the star AC +79 3888 than to our own sun.

Why hasn t Voyager 1 hit anything?

Voyager 1 could have been aimed on to Pluto, but exploration of Titan and the rings of Saturn was a primary scientific objective. This caused the trajectory to be diverted upward out of the ecliptic plane such that no further planetary encounters were possible for Voyager 1.

How long would it take to cross the Milky Way at Warp 9?

At 'Warp' 9, you can travel to the Galactic center in 1.1 years.

How fast is warp speed?

Accordingly, "warp 1" is equivalent to the speed of light, "warp 2" is eight times the speed of light, "warp 3" is 27 times the speed of light, etc. Several episodes of The Original Series placed the Enterprise in peril by having it travel at high warp factors.

Why did Voyager end so suddenly?

Unlike previous Star Trek series, Voyager's ending was not a surprise. The plan to end was already in place when producer Branon Braga left after season 6 to begin work on Star Trek: Enterprise.

How did Voyager destroy the Borg Sphere?

Captain Janeway convinces her that there is a way to both destroy the hub and get Voyager home. While the Admiral distracts the Borg Queen, Voyager enters the hub and sets its destruction in motion, riding the shockwave from the explosions along a conduit the Alpha Quadrant.

Will Voyager 2 ever return to Earth?

They've been heading out of our solar system ever since. In 2012, Voyager 1 entered interstellar space. Then, in 2018, NASA announced that Voyager 2 had entered interstellar space, too. They are both headed outward, never to return to Earth.

Will Voyager outlive humanity?

While humans will undoubtedly outlive the Voyagers' systems, the probes' final mission, to preserve a record of Earth, may outlive humanity.

Will Voyager 2 ever reach another star?

By that time, Voyager 1 will be about 13.8 billion miles (22.1 billion kilometers) from the Sun and Voyager 2 will be 11.4 billion miles (18.4 billion kilometers) away. Eventually, the Voyagers will pass other stars.

Has Voyager 2 found anything?

Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to study all four of the solar system's giant planets at close range. Voyager 2 discovered a 14th moon at Jupiter. Voyager 2 was the first human-made object to fly past Uranus. At Uranus, Voyager 2 discovered 10 new moons and two new rings.

How fast is Warp 9.9 in mph?

In the episode "The 37's", Tom Paris tells Amelia Earhart that Warp 9.9 is about 4 billion miles per second (using customary units for the character's benefit). That is more than 14 times the value of Warp 9 and equal to around 21,400 times speed of light.

How close are we to warp speed?

The conclusion of the study was, predictably, that traveling at or near the speed of light–or even creating warp-drive-like conditions in a strictly scientific setting–is nowhere near possible. The theory behind warp drive is actually far crazier than simply propelling an object at the speed of light.

Do dilithium crystals exist?

Dilithium may be a fictional crystal from Star Trek, but in that world, it is composed of traditional baryonic matter (which is the stuff all the atoms and elements on the periodic table are made of) as well as complex subatomic particles which exist in subspace that allow the crystalline structure to form.

How far is Earth from Vulcan?

Location. Vulcan, the second planet of the 40 Eridani system, was located 16 light years from Earth.

How fast could Kirk's Enterprise go?

Kirk's Enterprise Reached Warp 8

Fortunately, Kirk's Enterprise could go much faster than that: in Star Trek: The Original Series, the maximum speed was warp eight, and at that speed, it would take 3.09 days to travel from Earth to Alpha Centauri in a ship.

How fast is impulse speed?

The Star Trek Voyager Technical Manual, page 13, has full impulse listed as ¼ of the speed of light, which is 167,000,000 mph or 74,770 km/s.
