750 kilograms

Mass: 750 kg; definition.

The quantity is exact as entered. Comparisons use the clearly stated specimen, model or nominal measurement.

NIST — SI conversion factors

Voyager 1 spacecraft

Launch mass: 721.9 kg; approximate.

Voyager 1 had a launch mass of about 721.9 kg and a main dish-to-bus scale of roughly 3.66 m. Its long magnetometer boom and antennas extend beyond that calibrated span.

NASA — Voyager spacecraft

The marked launch mass is calibrated. Unmeasured illustration details are representative.
