Voyager 1 was a probe launched by NASA on Earth in the 20th century.
History
NASA approved six Voyager series probes in May 1972. All probes in the series were built to virtually the same specifications, each consisting of 65 thousand individual parts. Those included a thermoelectric power generator, plasma and cosmic ray detectors, and a memory bank capable of holding 500 million bits. (Star Trek: The Magazine vol. 2, Issue 8: "Briefing: V'Ger")
Voyager 1 was launched 5 September 1977. It conducted planetary scientific observations during flybys of Jupiter on 5 March 1979 and Saturn on 12 November 1980. (ST reference: Spaceflight Chronology, historical accounts)
When Voyager visited Saturn in 1980 it discovered a hexagon storm in the planet's atmosphere.
In 2020, Shaun Christopher noticed a difference between the original pictures of the storm sent to Earth by Voyager 1 and the storm of that time. (TOS novel: The Rings of Time)
