What space probes or satellites have studied Neptune?
Voyager 2 passed by Neptune on August 23, 2009
What is Voyager 2?
A space probe that found several of Neptune's moons and Neptune itself. 1989 was the year they all of the satellites. Satellites: another name for moon. NOT A DISH!!

What is one name of satellite or robot of Neptune?
There are no man-made satellites or robots of Neptune. The space probe "Voyager 2" flew past Neptune, in 1989.
What are unmanned satellites?
Satellites without people. For the United States that's all space flights except the Suttle and International Space Station, both with depend on human beings.
What are the names of the satellites and robots rhat got close to neptune and the year it happened?
The space probe Voyager 2 in 1989.
Do Neptune have robots or satellites in orbit?
The Voyager 2 space probe flew past Neptune in 1989. Other than that it has only been observed by Earth-based telescopes.
How many satellites probes have been to neptune?
The Voyager I and the Voyager II are the only space probes to visit Neptune. They landed in the 1980s.
Why does Neptune have 13 satellites even though it is not orbited by human made objects?
Well, call me a scientist, satellites are sometimes known as ANYTHING that can orbit a rock, star or planet. So, Neptune does have eleven (or more, who knows) moons. Satellites are usually known as the man-made space telescopes, but they can be anything that orbits. Here, let me explain: Planets: Mercury, Earth, Venus... (you know) Stars: The sun Satellites: The moon, Hubble telescope, and other of Earths satellites
How many asteroids does Neptune have?
Currently, Neptune has 13 known moons, or satellites. Technology is making it easier for scientists to discover more about deep space so more may be uncovered in the future.
Have you sent satellites or landers to neptune?
Not exactly. The Voyager 2 space probe did a flyby of Neptune, but since it never actually orbited the planet, it can't be considered a satellite. Neptune does not have a solid surface, so nothing could ever land on it.
Do all planets have an artificial satellites?
No. There are no artificial satellites orbiting Mercury, Uranus, or Neptune. Mercury has had artificial satellites in the past that were deliberately deorbited when their missions ended. The space probe Voyager 2 flew by Uranus and Neptune, but since it never orbited them, it cannot be considered a satellite. Similarly, New Horizons flew by Pluto, which is no longer considered a planet. The one space probe orbiting Saturn, named Cassini, will be deorbited in September 2017.
