I'm quite busy outside of Wikipedia but I should have this to you ASAP JAGUAR  20:09, 18 May 2015 (UTC)

Initial comments

Article at top says "It is also the most distant object in the solar system whose location is known". But I thought V1 left the solar system a few years ago and is no longer in it? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:282:4301:F9F:F92D:E1A6:7143:6E11 (talk) 17:12, 13 August 2017 (UTC)

• "It is the farthest spacecraft from Earth, at a distance of about 130.62 AU (1.954×1010 km)" - this would sound better the other way around, At a distance of approximately 130.62 AU (1.954×1010 km), it is the farthest spacecraft from Earth.
• I would recommend either expanding the short second paragraph in the lead or merging it with the first, if you prefer
• "It also studied the weather, magnetic fields, and rings of those worlds" - planets?
• "exploring the interstellar medium.Voyager 1 crossed" - there is no space in between that full stop
• "As calculated automatically based on today's date, Voyager 1 only has 74.2% of the plutonium-238 that it had at launch. By 2025, it will have only 68.8% left." - completely unsourced and I would at least recommend expanding or merging this as it is too short for a standalone paragraph
• The Computers section is largely unsourced
• The middle of the Flyby of Saturn section contains no citations - I know that the material is in the sources given so it should be easy to give them citations
• "riggered by a solar outburst that had occurred in March 2012[53] (Electron density is expected to be two orders of magnitude higher outside the heliopause than within.[55])" - syntax errors in this sentence, Election should not be capitalised in the brackets and the citation should also be outside the brackets

References

• No dead links
• One of the PDS/PPI data catalogues are dead

On hold

A very interesting article that only has a few minor syntax/prose issues that could be addressed with ease. Sorry for taking so long to review this as I've been ill over the past few days. I'll leave this on hold for the standard seven days until all of the above are clarified. Thanks! JAGUAR  13:24, 22 May 2015 (UTC)
