Are any of the NASA probes launched for flybys of the planets still sending signals back to earth?

Yes, many of them are. In fact, both of the Voyager probes are still transmitting data, even from beyond Neptune and past the "heliopause", the boundary between the solar system and interstallar space.

What planets humans have visited?
Actually no manned spaceship but many satellites have made flybys past the various planets.
Which planets have been visited?
None of the 7 other planets in the solar system have been landed upon by humans. All of them have had space probes perform flybys to study and map them. Only Mars and Venus have had unmanned landers land on them.
Were and when did the Galileo spacecraft land?
The Galileo spacecraft was launched to Jupiter to study it and its moons, and reached it on December 7th 1995. It orbited Jupiter and took measurements of its moon via flybys till September 21, 2003. It did not land anywhere, it orbited Jupiter for the entire time, until it was decommissioned and flew into Jupiter, where it was destroyed.
How many space missions have there been?
There have been no human space missions to Mars. The only missions to Mars to date have been through flybys with space craft, orbiters, and land rovers.

Flybys was created in 2003.

Can a robotic spacecraft be sent to Mercury?
Yes. In fact. the NASA "Messenger" probe was launched on August 3, 2004 and is on its way there now. In fact, it has done two close flybys of Mercury, and will settle into Mercury orbit in March, 2011.
Does it cost money to activate flybys cards?
No Honey No.
What are the names of all the rockets that have traveled on an expedition to mercury?
There are two. Mariner 10, and Messenger. Mariner 10 was launched in 1973, and is believed to still pass Mercury every six months. Messenger was launched In 2004, and as of today is still involved in flybys collecting information. There are also two planned expeditions to Mercury, one by the European Space Program, the other by Japan's.
Has there been flybys by Saturn?
yes, voyager 1, voyager 2, Cassini Huygens

How long would it take to get to the plant Mercury?
How long it would take to get from the Earth to the planet Mercury depends onhow much fuel you can build into your space crafthow much acceleration your payload can tolleratethe distance between the two planets at the time you startwhat orbit you choose to use for the journeyIt could be done in months, or take years, depending.
What info has been collected by the flybys and space probes?
To give you an idea: Some of the information and pictures taken by flybys and space probes that was received 6, 7, 8 years ago is still being analyzed! Robot ships ("flybys and space probes") are by far the biggest "bang for the buck" of anything NASA has ever spent the money on - they have contributed tremendously to our knowledge of our solar system and our universe. And, they have created a lot of new questions for scientists - which is exactly what's supposed to happen.
Have any robots or satellites arrived at Mercury?
Yes. So far two unmanned spacecraft have visited Mercury. Mariner 10 made several flybys of Mercury in 1974 and 1975. MESSENGER made several flybys of Mercury in 2008 and 2009 before entering orbit around Mercury in 2011 where it remained until it was allowed to crash into the surface in 2013.
When will messenger reach Mercury?
The original plan called for three fly-by maneuvers past Venus, with Mercury orbit insertion scheduled for 2009. The new trajectory features one Earth flyby, two Venus flybys, and three Mercury flybys before Mercury orbit insertion on March 18, 2011.Its first "flyby" happened on January 14, 2008.Its orbit insertion will happen on March 18, 2011.
