    A Voyager replica hangs in the center of Exploring the Planets. The large dish is the antenna for receiving instructions from Earth and sending back data. Cameras and other instruments are mounted on the moveable platform to the left. At the end of a long boom extending off to the right is a sensitive detector for measuring magnetic fields. Another boom holds the nuclear generators that provide electrical power.
