At the moment - according to the Wikipedia article (see related link) it takes about 16 hours for signals sent from Voyager to reach Earth. At least that's what it says in the section titled 'Current Status'

Was Pioneer 1 the first man made object to leave the solar system?
There has never been a man made object to leave the Solar System. There are however, two objects which may escape the influence of Sol and enter the interstellar medium. These objects are the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. It is currently unknown which will leave the system first, as although Voyager 1 was launched first, peculiarities of the nature of the Solar System may mean that Voyager 2 breaks the heliosphere first.
What are the 2 space vehicles that have traveled farthest into the solar system?
The voyager space probes that visited the outer planets in the 70's and 80's, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, while the Voyager 2 probe visited all four gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 1 is the furthest man made object from Earth at around 122AU from Earth as of September 2012. That is 122 times the distance between the Earth and Sun.
What planet was not visited by voyager 1 or voyager 2?
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 did not visit the planet Pluto. Voyager 1's trajectory did not take it close to Pluto, and Voyager 2 was redirected after its Uranus encounter to head out of the solar system in a different direction.
Which man-made object is presently farthest away from the earth Is it the hubble satelite?
The farthest man-made object from Earth is Voyager 1 spacecraft, which was launched by NASA in 1977. It has since traveled beyond our solar system and continues to transmit data back to Earth. Hubble Space Telescope is in low Earth orbit and not as far from Earth as Voyager 1.
Which satellite went out of your solar system?
No satellite has left our solar system. The farthest human-made object from Earth is the Voyager 1 spacecraft, which has entered interstellar space but is still within the boundary of our solar system.

What information do the Voyager space probes transmit?
The Voyager space probes transmit data about the outer solar system, including details on planets, moons, and magnetic fields. They also send back information on cosmic rays, interstellar space, and the heliosphere to mission control on Earth.
How far into space has the sent unmanned spacecraft?
The furthest unmanned spacecraft is Voyager 1, which has reached the edge of the heliosphere, the outer boundary of the Sun's influence. It is currently more than 14 billion miles (22 billion kilometers) away from Earth.
Which space ship has travelled farthest from the earth and to where?
As of now, the farthest spacecraft from Earth is Voyager 1. It has reached interstellar space, located about 14 billion miles away from Earth. Voyager 1 was launched by NASA in 1977 and continues to send back data to Earth.
Did Voyager 1 ever return to earth?
No, Voyager 1 was launched in 1977 to explore the outer solar system and has continued to travel further away. It is currently the farthest human-made object from Earth.
What is the duration of Earth Star Voyager?
The duration of Earth Star Voyager is 1.6 hours.
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is currently about 18.5 billion km from the Earth. How long does it take in seconds for a radio signal to get from Voyager 1 to Earth?
That distance you gave is nearly 200 astronomical units so if that is right the time would be 8 minutes times 200, which is 26½ hours.
When was Earth Star Voyager created?
Earth Star Voyager was created on 1988-01-17.
When did Earth Star Voyager end?
Earth Star Voyager ended on 1988-01-24.
How long does it take a radio signal from the Voyager spacecraft to reach Earth if the distance between Voyager and Earth is 4.16 109 km?
The speed of light is about 300,000 km/sec. Just divide the distance by the speed of light. The answer will be in seconds; divide by 60 to get minutes, by 3600 to get hours, or by 86400 to get days.

Name a space probe that nasa sent out of space?
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 are two space probes launched by NASA in 1977 on a mission to study the outer Solar System. Voyager 1 is currently the farthest human-made object from Earth.
