Some of them, yes. However, it is in the nature of scientific exploration that every answer gives rise to two more questions, so we always have more questions than answers.

So, yes; Titan has a surface with lakes and rivers. Lakes and rivers of what? Methane, probably, but that's a new question. We know more than we used to about the rings, but we still have more questions.

What probs have been sent to Saturn?

Two space probes have been sent to Saturn: Pioneer 11 in 1979 and the Cassini-Huygens mission in 1997. Cassini-Huygens provided extensive data on Saturn and its moons, including the discovery of liquid methane lakes on Titan and the geysers on Enceladus.


How many satellites have been sent to Saturn?

Four spacecraft have been sent to Saturn: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and the Cassini-Huygens mission. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 made flybys of Saturn while the Cassini-Huygens mission orbited the planet for over 13 years, studying its moons and rings in detail.


When was the Cassini-Huygen spacecraft launched?

The Cassini-Huygens probe was launched on the15th of October 1997, on a mission to orbit Saturn and study its many moons. in 2008 , NASA extended the Cassini-Huygens mission by two years naming it the Cassini Equinox Mission. Another mission extension has been proposed to to prolong Cassinis mission until 2017.


Which spacecrafts have been to Saturn?

The only spacecraft to have visited Saturn is the Cassini-Huygens mission, a joint project by NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency. Cassini orbited Saturn between 2004 and 2017, providing valuable data and images of the planet, its rings, and its moons.


Have the Cassini-Huygens objectives been answered?

Some of them, yes. However, it is in the nature of scientific exploration that every answer gives rise to two more questions, so we always have more questions than answers.

What robots went to Saturn and what year?

Several space probes have passed near Saturn, but the best view has been from the Cassini probe which is currently in orbit around Saturn, and has been there for about 80 months. The Cassini probe even deployed a small lander called "Huygens" which made a soft landing on the moon Titan, and observed details of Titan's surface. Unfortunately, the conditions on Titan are bitterly cold, and the Huygens probe failed after about 20 minutes, which was about as expected.


What are the names of the satellites and robots that have been on Saturn?

The primary spacecraft that have studied Saturn are NASA's Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, and Voyager 2, which provided early data on the planet and its rings. The most significant mission was the Cassini-Huygens mission, which included the Cassini orbiter and the Huygens lander, which descended to Titan, Saturn's largest moon. Cassini operated from 2004 to 2017, delivering extensive information about Saturn and its moons. No other satellites or robots have been sent specifically to Saturn beyond these missions.


How many missions has Saturn have?

Saturn has been visited by several space missions, the most notable being Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and the Cassini-Huygens mission. Pioneer 11 flew by Saturn in 1979, followed by Voyager 1 in 1980 and Voyager 2 in 1981. The Cassini-Huygens mission, which launched in 1997, orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017 and included the Huygens probe, which landed on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. In total, there have been four primary missions that have provided extensive data on Saturn and its moons.
