There haven't been any specific space probes sent to Neptune for a Neptunian mission, like Cassini for Saturn and Galileo for Jupiter. However, the Voyager 2 space probe passed by Neptune in 1989 on its way out of the solar system and sent back pictures and information showing it to be an odd planet indeed.
The Voyager Interstellar Mission, controlled by the Jet Propulsion Lab in Pasadena, CA, is still in contact with both Voyager spacecraft via the Deep Space Network, a huge array of globally interlinked radio telescopes that use their combined capability to communicate with them.
Voyager 1 and 2 were originally programmed to visit Saturn and Jupiter, but Voyager 2's trajectory was altered to visit Neptune and Uranus also, and remains the only spacecraft to have visited either planet. (Voyager 1 was flown past Saturn's moon Titan instead.)

How many man made satellites has been sent to Saturn?
there has been 7 man made satellites sent to Saturn.
Does Uranus have man made moons?
No, Uranus does not have a man made moon. We have sent probes by there to take scientific measurements and photographs, but no satellites or other man-made objects are there.
How many satellites went to Uranus and what year?
As of now, no spacecraft or satellites have been sent to Uranus. However, there have been missions that have conducted flybys of Uranus, such as Voyager 2 which passed by the planet in 1986, providing valuable data and images. There is a proposed mission called Uranus Pathfinder that aims to send a dedicated orbiter to Uranus in the future, but no specific year has been set yet.
Why werent the ten smaller satellites discovered until a space probe passed close to to uranus?
Since Uranus is a long distance from earth and the 10 smaller satellites are so small and dark, we weren't able to discover them until we sent a spacecraft close to Uranus. These satellites are not visible from earth.Uranus is very far away from the Sun and the Earth, and its satellites very small. When Voyager flew there it was much closer and it was easier to detect them.Space probes have proved that Uranus also has ten much smaller satellites that orbit much closer to the planet. These ten are dark in color and do not reflect as much sunlight as the larger ones.
How many satellites orbit Venus'?
Venus has no natural satellites but probes have been sent their for many years now.
How many reconnaissance satellites have been sent to Uranus?
1 has been sent to Uranus. That was the "Voyager 2" spacecraft. Strictly speaking, it wasn't a "satellite" because it did not go into orbit around Uranus.
How many man made satellites has been sent to Saturn?
there has been 7 man made satellites sent to Saturn.
Does Uranus have man made moons?
No, Uranus does not have a man made moon. We have sent probes by there to take scientific measurements and photographs, but no satellites or other man-made objects are there.
Have man-made satellites been sent to earth?
No
Have any man-made satellites been sent to the planet earth?
Since we live ON the Earth, all satellites WE have sent have been sent FROM the Earth, and circle around it.

Had any man-made satellites been sent on Jupiter?
j j
How many man made satellite's sent to Mars?
kidding LOL, I think that there was 3 satellites that been sent to Mars.(=
How many man-made satellites been sent to earth?
none you see, there is no use, we live on Earth.....
The probes or satellites on that have been sent to your plant a is?

What has been sent to Mars?
Probes, satellites, and rovers have been sent to the planet Mars. These devices have been able to gather data, pictures, and materials from the planet.
