Voyager 1 explored Jupiter in 1979, and made its closest approach on March 5, 1979.
Voyager 1 & 2 reached Jupiter in 1979 and Galileo arrived at Jupiter in 1995.
Some of the satellites or robots that have explored Jupiter include Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Cassini, New Horizons, and Juno. Each of these spacecraft provided valuable insights into Jupiter and its moons.
Both the Pioneer and Voyager spacecraft explored several planets in our solar system, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. For example, Voyager 1 and 2 conducted flybys of Jupiter and Saturn, while Pioneer 10 and 11 also explored Jupiter and Saturn.
Voyager 1 and 2 explored the outer planets of our solar system, primarily focusing on Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 1 conducted a flyby of Jupiter in 1979 and Saturn in 1980, while Voyager 2 visited Jupiter in 1979, Saturn in 1981, Uranus in 1986, and Neptune in 1989. These missions provided invaluable data about the planets, their moons, and ring systems.
Pioneer 10, pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Galileo, Cassini and New Horizons.
Only the "Galileo" mission was sent to orbit Jupiter, but many others have flown by and explored Jupiter on their way to other planets, etc. They were: Pioneers 10 and 11 Voyagers 1 and 2 Ulysses Cassini New Horizons
The various probes sent to observe Jupiter are:Pioneer 10 - 1973Pioneer 11 - 1974Voyager 1 - 1979Voyager 2 - 1979Ulysses - 1992Cassini - 2000New Horizons - 2007Galileo orbital mission - 1995–2003Juno - launched in 2011, and expected to arrive in 2016

The primary spacecraft that have explored Jupiter include NASA's Pioneer 10 and 11, Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, and Juno. The Galileo orbiter studied the planet and its moons from 1995 to 2003, while Juno, launched in 2011, has been studying Jupiter's atmosphere and magnetic field since entering orbit in 2016. Additionally, the Hubble Space Telescope has provided valuable observations of Jupiter.
Pioneer 10, in 1973; Pioneer 11, also in 1973; Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 in 1979. For more details, check the Wikipedia article on "Exploration of Jupiter".
Jupiter's orbit around the Sun is much longer than Earth's, taking approximately 12 Earth years to complete one orbit. This difference in orbital time is why we say that 12 Earth years equal 1 year on Jupiter.
Juno: Launched in 2011, Juno reached Jupiter's orbit in 2016 and continues to study the planet's atmosphere and magnetic field. Galileo: Launched in 1989, Galileo arrived at Jupiter in 1995, providing valuable insights into the planet's moons and magnetosphere. Voyager 1: Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in 1979, capturing images and data of the planet and its moons before continuing its journey out of the Solar System.
