Nothing man-made has left our solar system yet. The furthest thing is Voyager 1, which is now about 116AU away from Earth, around 10.8 billion miles - at the edge of our solar system.

What was the name of the first spacecraft to orbit Jupiter?
It's Pioneer 10, launched in March 1972. Pioneer 10 first explored the asteroid belt, then moved on to Jupiter. After that, it explored other outer planets and eventually went outside of the solar system, thus becoming the first spacecraft to flay past Pluto.
If a spacecraft travels from earth to the edge of the solar system what will happen to the gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft?
The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.
What are procedures of a solar system project?
There are a few steps of a solar system project. You first have to study the solar system.
How do spacecrafts obtain the energy they need to operate?
Spacecraft that will operate within the inner solar system are generally equipped with solar (photovoltaic) panels, which use sunlight to generate electric power. Those that will spend most of their time in the outer solar system, or leave the solar system entirely, will carry nuclear reactors to generate electric power. The electric power runs the instruments, computers, and communications on the spacecraft. But in most cases, electric power doesn't provide the forces needed for navigation. Mid-course adjustments of attitude and trajectory are made the old- fashioned way ... with rocket engines, or thrusters that poof out little puffs of gas. Both of those run on fuel that's carried aboard the spacecraft at launch. When it's gone, it's gone.
What is the first planet in our solar system?
The first planet in the solar system is Mercury
Was Pioneer 1 the first man made object to leave the solar system?
There has never been a man made object to leave the Solar System. There are however, two objects which may escape the influence of Sol and enter the interstellar medium. These objects are the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 spacecraft. It is currently unknown which will leave the system first, as although Voyager 1 was launched first, peculiarities of the nature of the Solar System may mean that Voyager 2 breaks the heliosphere first.
Why can't we explore the stars with spacecraft the way we explore our solar system?
because they are far away from our solar system

What is the name of the first space shuttle sent from earth?
Pioneer 10 was the first spacecraft to venture to the edge of the solar system. Hope I could help! :) :)
What is a spacecraft that explores the solar system and carries instruments but does not transport astronauts?
a probe

The gravitational pull between earth and the spacecraft will become insignificant.
Has spacecraft ever left the solar system?
Depends "very" much on the definition of the boundary of the solar system, but it's possible Voyager I may well have.
What is the name of the spacecraft that scientists say has reached the edge of the solar system?
Voyager 1.
Can Uranus be explored using a satellite?
Yes. Much of what we know about Uranus was learned during a pass by the Voyager 2 spacecraft in 1986 on its way to Neptune and after that, to leave the solar system completely.
What is the name of the spacecraft which has now crossed the solar system and has gone outer space what is the date when it was launched?
Voyager I and II are pretty much on the edge of solar system.
Is mars still in the solar system?
Yes. It is never going to leave the solar system.
What is name of spacecraft which has now crossed the solar system and has gone into outer space?
Both Voyager 1 and 2 have travelled through the solar system, I believe Voyager 1 is the only one which has left the solar system (or is in the process of).
