I am not sure if by "space mission" You mean a mission to a distant object or into deep space or manned or unmanned.
Voyager I and II are unmanned deep space missions, both launched in 1977. More than thirty years later they are both still running (as of today: March 10, 2010).
The unmanned Mars Exploration Rovers Spirit and Opportunity were rover launched to Mars in 2004. Opportunity is still running fine but Spirit is stationary because two of its six main wheels have stalled.
The Apollo Missions were manned moon missions in the nineteen-sixties and seventies. They were also very successful.
vikingthe most succesful space probe mission is the apollo 11 because it is the mission where the first man walk on moon.
There have been seven manned missions, one of which, Apollo XIII, was unsuccessful, and many other unmanned missions. Considering that we haven't been there in almost a half century, the manned missions must be regarded as sort of technological demonstrations rather than the beginning of human ventures into space.
voyager I is one voyager II is another one
Only one dog went into space in 1957. Her name was Laika.
One. He was launched, spent a total of 1hour 48minutes off the ground, completed almost but not quite one complete Earth orbit, never went into space again, and died in the crash of a small trainer aircraft seven years later.
The first large space telescope was the Hubble, and it's probably still the most famous one. But a LOT of the new and exciting work being done is using the Kepler Space Telescope, a device which was specially designed to search for planets around neighboring stars.

Mercury (early one-man missions). Gemini (early two-man missions). Apollo (early three man missions). The Space Shuttle, and all Russian crafts, land on land.

Yes there were many missions launched to Saturn. One of the first missions had a probe sent to space and see what the surface was made of and the probe was crushed with the extremely dense atmosphere
There are a number of websites that allow one to read about the Apollo space program. Wikipedia has many details about the program and each of the missions.
Only one space probe went to or flew by Neptune which was Voyager 2.
It does not have to be brought back to earth and so costs less money

There are/were 5 space shuttles and over 100 missions as well as one other shuttle that only flew in the atmosphere as a test of the flight capability. Many people have ridden on the space shuttle.
I am a location in space. It takes only one letter to name me. What am I?
There were multiple Gemini missions into space because there was a lot of work and research that needed to be done.
