As the Voyager Mission approaches its 50 year mark, and continues its extraordinary legacy, a new generation of researchers works with Voyager data to understand the outer regions of our solar system and the interstellar environment outside of the heliosphere, we invite stories that capture the history of this mission and the people that made it happen. The SHIELD Webinar series for 2025 will be devoted to bringing together these unique voices to share stories in a “Voyager StoryCorps”.


The inaugural Voyager StoryCorps Webinar will feature a conversation between two proteges of Edward C. Stone. Alan Cummings started working with Ed Stone on the Voyager cosmic ray (CRS) instruments in 1973 and is now PI of those instruments. Jamie Rankin was Ed's last graduate student and earned her PhD in 2019. She is now deputy CRS PI and deputy Voyager project scientist. Alan and Jamie will share their memories working with Ed and working with CRS data from the perspective of the old and new.
