Summary
The Voyager spacecraft structure - schematic diagram. The 3.7 metre diameter high-gain antenna (HGA) is attached to the hollow ten-sided polygonal electronics bus, with the spherical tank within containing hydrazine propulsion fuel. The <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Voyager_Golden_Record" title="Category:Voyager Golden Record">Voyager Golden Record</a> is attached to one of the bus sides. The angled square panel to the right is the optical calibration target and excess heat radiator. The three <a href="//commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/Category:Radioisotope_thermoelectric_generators" title="Category:Radioisotope thermoelectric generators">radioisotope thermoelectric generators</a> (RTGs) are mounted end-to-end on the lower boom. The two planetary radio and plasma wave antenna extend diagonally downwards left and right. The 13 metre long Astromast tri-axial boom extends diagonally downwards left and holds the two low-field magnetometers (MAG); the high-field magnetometers remain close to the HGA. The instrument boom extending upwards holds, from bottom to top: the cosmic ray susbsystem (CRS) left, and Low-Energy Charged Particle (LECP) detector right; the Plasma Spectrometer (PLS) right; and the scan platform that rotates about a vertical axis. The scan platform comprises: the Infrared Interferometer Spectrometer (IRIS) (largest camera at top right); the Ultraviolet Spectrometer (UVS) just above the UVS; the two Imaging Science Subsystem (ISS) vidicon cameras to the left of the UVS; and the Photopolarimeter System (PPS) under the ISS.

A disk is fixed to the body facing front left. A long tri-axial boom extends down left and two radio antenna extend down left and down right.
