In Star Trek, one Voyager probe turned into a sentient super intelligence; the other was destroyed by a Klingon Bird of Prey.

the other

In Star Trek, there were presumably more than two because one of the two shown on screen was labeled "Voyager 6."

We need more voyagers. Wouldn’t it be awesome to periodically send probes around with updated technologies on board?

We've been doing that; we just haven't been naming them "Voyager." I suppose we could've called New Horizons "Voyager 3" instead.
