I always joke that NASA should win the nobel prize in engineering for their work on the mars rovers. where the punchline is that there is no nobel prize for engineering... I didn't say it was a good joke.

But the voyager missions... wow. NASA should totally win the nobel prize in engineering for them. What an accomplishment.

The Voyager team did win the 1980 Collier Trophy which is the nobel prize of aerospace.

That's a national prize, whilst the Nobel Prize is awarded globally.

An annual Space Prize, for Engineering.

Maybe people with bonuses these days could fund a prize committee in perpetuity like Alfred Nobel, who invented dynomite.
