The planet was observed by the Mariner 10 space probe from March 29, 1974 to March 16, 1975.
This was the only close observation until three flybys by the Messenger probe on January 14, 2008, October 6, 2008, and September 29, 2009. Messenger will begin its orbital mapping of Mercury on March 18, 2011

The Dawn Mission which was launched on 27 September 2007, will explore Ceres in 2015.

∙ 14y agoYes. Several. In fact, every man-made space probe, regardless of what or where it was ultimately designed
to explore, has visited earth at one time or another.

What planet is after Mars?
Jupiter is the next planet after Mars, but there is small minor planets in between that's within the asteroid belt, with best known been ceres, expected to be explored by the Dawn Spacecraft in 2015.
Do you have pictures of the three dwarf planets if you do show me?
Currently no clear pictures if any dwarf planet exist, as none have been visited by a spacecraft. In 2015, however, the New Horizons spacecraft will fly by Pluto, and the Dawn spacecraft will enter orbit around Ceres.
What planet was recently explored by the Galileo spacecraft?
Jupiter ;)
Which pace craft explored the Challenger Deep?
Challenger deep is in the ocean, it was never explored by spacecraft.
Has there every been any spacecraft travel to dwarf planet Ceres?
No. The weather and conditions on the dwarf planets are too extreme for any technology or human life.

Has mars been explored by satellite or spacecraft?
Yes, since the 70's
Are there robots on Ceres?
Not yet.The robotic spacecraft Dawn will get there sometime in 2015. It technically still won't be on Ceres but in orbit around it.
What planet is the only one on which unmanned spacecraft have successfully landed and explored?
Mars.!!! However, spacecraft have landed on Venus, but the atmosphere on Venus is such that spacecraft are crushed/collpase. So no exploration has been done on Venus.
Has Pluto ever been explored by a spacecraft or fly by?
No, but a space probe called New Horizons is on its way for a flyby.

Challenger deep is in the ocean, it was never explored by spacecraft.
Which planets did the the mariner spacecraft explore?
The mariner spacecraft explored Mercury, Mars, and Venus. The first successful space probe and first spacecraft visit to a planet was Mariner 2.
Has there every been any spacecraft travel to dwarf planet Ceres?
No. The weather and conditions on the dwarf planets are too extreme for any technology or human life.
What planet was explored by the Magellan spacecraft?
The Magellan spacecraft was launched to study Venus by NASA on May 4th 1989.
Was there any space missions to Makemake the 4th dwarf planet?
No spacecrafts have currently landed or orbited Makemake. The dwarf planet is too far from the Sun (7,800,000,000 kilometers), it would be in the next century when we can send spacecrafts there.
