This proceedings volume contains peer-reviewed papers that analyze and attempt to explain data about the heliosheath gathered from Voyager 1, one of two NASA satellites launched to explore the solar system. In addition, it also includes a number of papers which focus on the upcoming IBEX mission, due for launch in 2008, which will add to the pool of observational data by directly detecting energetic neutral atoms generated within the heliosheath.
