The Cassini unmanned satellite has been orbiting Saturn since 2004, and its mission will continue until 2017. No manned mission to the Moon, much less to any other planet, is currently being developed.
NASA has proposed another unmanned probe to the moons Titan or Enceladus as part of the exploration of the planetary system. However, this is still in the planning stages.

How many people have visited Saturn?
None. Humans have only landed on our moon.
Is Saturn Space Junk?
No. Space junk consists of fragments of spacecraft left in space. Saturn is a planet.
How many satellites or robots have explored Saturn?
As of my knowledge, there have been four missions that have explored Saturn and its moons. They are: 1. Pioneer 11: Launched in 1973, Pioneer 11 conducted a flyby of Saturn in 1979, providing close-up images and data of the planet and its rings. 2. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2: Launched in 1977, both Voyager spacecraft conducted flybys of Saturn. Voyager 1 made its closest approach to Saturn in 1980, while Voyager 2 made its closest approach in 1981. These missions provided detailed images and data of Saturn, its rings, and its moons. 3. Cassini-Huygens: Launched in 1997, the Cassini-Huygens mission was a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). Cassini orbited Saturn for over 13 years, from 2004 to 2017, while the Huygens probe successfully landed on Saturn's moon Titan in 2005. The Cassini-Huygens mission provided unprecedented information about Saturn, its rings, and its moons. These missions have greatly expanded our understanding of Saturn and its fascinating celestial features. It's important to note that the information may change as new missions or data become available beyond my knowledge cutoff. By : 1solutions.biz
What is the most recent space mission that explored Saturn?
saturn V
What are the names of the space crafts that discovered Saturn?
Saturn was discovered by ancient Greeks and Romans, so sorry no space crafts.
How do you travel to Saturn?
There are no manned missions to Saturn planned. In addition, it looks like the funding for the mission to Mars has been cut, so I suggest renting 2001 A Space Odyssey.
Cooperative missions between countries are being planned to send spacecraft to where?
Space. There are lots of different "cooperative missions" planned; you'd need to be more specific.
Did NASA visit Saturn?
NASA has sent several unmanned space probes to Saturn, but no manned missions.
Were there any missions launched to Saturn?
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
What is the biggest rocket ever launched into space?
The Saturn V used in the Apollo missions.
What space shuttle was used to first fly to the moon?
None. The moon missions were launched by a Saturn 5 rocket carrying an Apollo space capsule. The space shuttles were used for earth orbit missions.
Computers in space?
yes, on space shuttle, space station, Apollo, Saturn and Mercury missions, Soyuz and Mir, artificial satellites and orbitors. LOTS of computers up there.
Has NASA gone to mars?
NASA has sent a number of space craft to Mars, including a surveyor and several rovers. More missions are planned.
Why does the Saturn v go into space?
Are you asking why the missions were performed (exploration) or why rockets move (every action is balanced by an equal and opposite reaction)?
What space shuttle will you use to get to Saturn?
The space shuttle is not capable of leaving low earth orbit, a rocket like what the Apollo missions used (although much bigger) would be required.
Why was the international space station launched?
According to NASA, International Space Station (ISS) was launched to be an observatory or laboratory in space. Although it was planned to provide maintenance, transportation for possible future missions to Moon, Mars and asteroids.
Why was the Saturn V rocket so big?
The Saturn V was designed to place the Apollo space vehicle on a trajectory to get to the moon. This required a very large amount of fuels and oxidizers be carried for the engines, This required very very big fuel and oxidizer tanks inside each stage, making the Saturn V the biggest rocket ever built.Note: Wernher von Braun's original 1950s plans for a moon landing did not require such a big rocket, as a space station would be used as an intermediate staging area. However when NASA took Kennedy's challenge to reach the moon "by the end of the decade" they abandoned his plan (developing the planned space station would take most of a decade itself) and decided to use a direct one step trajectory to the moon, which needed the very big Saturn V. The development of a space station would be postponed until after the moon missions were over.Currently work is beginning on rockets usable for missions to Mars. They will likely be even bigger than the Saturn V, as even though we do now have a space station it is designed as a scientific research lab not as an intermediate staging area for moon or Mars missions (which would require the space station to have large fuel and oxidizer storage tanks, so it could act as a "filling station" for long range space vehicles before leaving earth orbit, as Wernher von Braun had originally planned the moon landings).
