A 1960s proposal for a [[Planetary Grand Tour|Grand Tour]] to study the outer planets led NASA to begin work on a mission during the early 1970s.<ref>{{Cite web |title=1960s |url=http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/index.html |url-status=dead |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20121208070306/http://voyager.jpl.nasa.gov/mission/index.html |archive-date=December 8, 2012 |access-date=August 18, 2013 |publisher=JPL}}</ref> Information gathered by the ''[[Pioneer 10]]'' spacecraft helped engineers design ''Voyager'' to better cope with the intense radiation around Jupiter.<ref>{{Cite web |date=2007 |title=The Pioneer missions |url=https://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/missions/archive/pioneer.html |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210831073224/https://www.nasa.gov/centers/ames/missions/archive/pioneer.html |archive-date=August 31, 2021 |access-date=August 19, 2013 |publisher=NASA}}</ref> Still, shortly before launch, strips of kitchen-grade [[aluminum foil]] were applied to certain cables to improve radiation shielding.<ref>{{Cite web |last=<!--Not stated--> |date=August 2017 |title=Preview Screening: The Farthest – Voyager in Space |url=https://informal.jpl.nasa.gov/museum/content/preview-screening-farthest-voyager-space |url-status=live |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190701213014/https://informal.jpl.nasa.gov/museum/content/preview-screening-farthest-voyager-space |archive-date=July 1, 2019 |access-date=August 18, 2019 |website=informal.jpl.nasa.gov |publisher=NASA Museum Alliance |quote=supermarket aluminum foil added at the last minute to protect the craft from radiation}}</ref>

Initially, ''Voyager 1'' was planned as ''Mariner 11'' of the [[Mariner program]]. Due to budget cuts, the mission was reduced to a flyby of Jupiter and Saturn and renamed the Mariner Jupiter-Saturn probes. The name was changed to ''Voyager'' when the probe designs began to differ substantially from Mariner missions.<ref>{{Cite book |last=Mack |first=Pamela Etter |title=From Engineering Science to Big Science: The NACA and NASA Collier Trophy Research Project Winners |date=1998 |publisher=National Aeronautics and Space Administration, NASA Office of Policy and Plans, NASA History Office |isbn=978-0-16-049640-0 |page=251 |language=en |chapter=11 |chapter-url=https://books.google.com/books?id=0j-4d73jQFEC&pg=PA251}}</ref>
