In 1997 the Cassini mission was launched . This spacecraft was put in orbit around Saturn in 2004.
The two Voyager spacecraft flew past Saturn in 1980 and 1981.
The first mission was Pioneer 11, which flew by Saturn in 1979.
Launch: October 15, 1997
Saturn orbit insertion: July 1, 2004
Huygens descent: January 14, 2005
The Cassini orbiter is designed to tour Saturn and its icy moons. Cassini flew by Jupiter in December of 2000 after a lengthy tour of the inner solar system, including two Venus flybys and an Earth flyby. On December 25, 2004, the Huygens probe (designed by the European Space Agency) separated from the Cassini orbiter. When Huygens descended to Titan on January 14, 2005, it discovered a strange new world of channels and basins. Cassini will make a total of nearly 80 orbits of Saturn.
Voyager 1Successful Jupiter and Saturn flyby (NASA)Launch: September 5, 1977
Saturn encounter: August 23 to December 15, 1980
Voyager 1 first flew by Jupiter before traveling on to Saturn. The spacecraft flew by the ringed world on November 12, 1980, coming within 64,200 kilometers (40,000 miles) of the planet's cloud tops. During the flyby, the spacecraft took almost 16,000 images of Saturn, its moons, and ring system. As Voyager 1 flew by the planet, controllers on the ground directed the spacecraft to use Saturn's strong gravity to alter its course. As a result, Voyager 1 flew up and out of the plane of the ecliptic, allowing scientists to get an overhead view of the planet and rings. Voyager 1 is currently on an Interstellar Mission and is the most distant man-made object ever launched, taking that title from Pioneer 10 on February 17, 1998.
Voyager 2Successful "Grand Tour" flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune (NASA)Launch: August 20, 1977
Jupiter encounter: June 5 to September 5, 1981
Voyager 2 first flew by Jupiter, then made its way to Saturn, reaching the ringed world on August 26, 1981. It flew within 41,000 kilometers (25,400 miles) of the planet's cloud tops and provided scientists with almost 16,000 images of the planet, its moons and rings. The spacecraft used Saturn's strong gravity to change its course and gather speed so it was able to fly on to Uranus and Neptune. While at Saturn, the two Voyager spacecraft discovered three new moons of Saturn, the intricate structure and spoke-like features of the ring system, and information about the planet's atmosphere and magnetic field.
Quite a few NASA probes have visited Saturn now. Pioneer 10 flew past in 1979, Voyager 1 flew past in 1980, and Voyager 2 flew past in 1981. The Cassini probe went into orbit around Saturn in 2004 and is still orbiting the planet; it's expected to continue orbiting until 2018 when NASA scientists will deliberately crash it into Saturn to avoid it colliding with and contaminating Saturn's moons Titan or Enceladus, both of which might be able to support life.
The first spacecraft to reach Saturn was Pioneer 11 in September of 1979. The first high resolution photographs of Saturn were returned by Voyager 1 in November of 1980. Since then, two more missions, Voyager 2 and Cassini-Huygens, have reached Saturn in August 1981 and July 2004, respectively.
pioneer 11, and Endeaver will soon land towards the end of 2011
There were 3, actually! The Pioneer, and the Voyagers 1 and2.
Four probes have been to Saturn - Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and Cassini.
No satellite or probe has ever landed on Saturn.
yes
Launched by the Saturn 5 rocket (the largest rocket ever built), the first spacecraft to take men to the moon was the Apollo spacecraft.
The launch vehicle was a Saturn 1B rocket.
Gravitational attraction toward Saturn has no effect on humans at all. It never will, unless and until some human travels to Saturn in a spacecraft.
The spacecraft you are trying to think of is Cassini-Huygens. It was carrying the Huygens space probe to the Saturn's moon of Titan.
The Saturn C-1 (also known as the Saturn 1) was only used for ten flights near the beginning of the Apollo Program, to test various aspects of the Apollo spacecraft and other technology. There were never any manned launches.
what year did cassinni visit saturn
Voyage 1!
Four probes have been to Saturn - Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and Cassini.
No voyager 2 or two was the only spacecraft to visit Neptune.
no i don't think so.
For the moment, no. But perhaps someday.
Strictly speaking, Saturn doesn't have a surface that can be landed on, so there have been no spacecraft landings on Saturn. Pioneer 11 and Voyagers 1 and 2 have done flybys of Saturn.
Galileo was the first spacecraft to visit Jupiter.
No spacecraft has landed on Saturn, it has no ground upon which to land.
The south side of Saturn

No, nobody has travelled to Saturn. However, spacecraft have visited it.
