Voyager Cosmic Ray Sub SystemThe most recent Voyager 6-hour averages for the LA1 (> 0.5 MeV/nuc nuclei) and PGH (> 70 MeV/nuc nuclei) rates are shown below in selectable thumbnail images.
The LA1 rate consists of greater than 0.5 MeV/nuc nuclei, principally protons, and is sensitive to low-energy phenomena in interplanetary space (e.g., co-rotating interaction regions, associated enhancements and solar flares).
The PGH rate consists of greater than 70 MeV/nuc nuclei, primarily protons, and is a good indicator of the level of modulation of galactic cosmic rays. It can also respond to large solar flares.

Through the Rate, Flux and Spectra User Interfaces you may generate figures and download CRS data for the lifetime of the Voyager mission. These interfaces have been tested with Microsoft Edge, Chrome and Firefox browsers.
Note
The Voyager 1 heater was turned off in May, 2022. Corrections have been applied to the Voyager 1 flux data from DOY 145/2022 (May 25). Voyager 1 flux data from May 18 - May 24, 2022 are not available.
The Voyager 2 heater was turned off in June 2019. Corrections have been applied to the Voyager 2 flux data from DOY 178/2019 (June 27). Voyager 2 flux data from DOY 160/2019 to DOY 178/2019 (June 9 - 26) are not available.
See Voyager-2 Temperature Corrections for additional information.
The Rate data has not been corrected so please use caution using V1 Rate data after DOY 138/2022 (May 18) and V2 Rate data after DOY 159/2019 (June 8).
