The Voyager spacecraft are interplanetary probes and did not carry landers.
Any spacecraft attempting to land on Jupiter would be crushed by the extreme pressures and magnetic fields and would fall for days before reaching the core of the planet because as Saturn and Jupiter are gas giants they have no surface as such.

Is voyager a satellite?
Voyager is a spacecraft probe. It is not a satellite. NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft launched in August and September 1977. Voyager 1 focused on Jupiter and Saturn., while Voyager 2 flew past Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
What year did voyagers 1 and 2 leave for Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune?
Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977 and flew by Jupiter (1979) and Saturn (1980). Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977 and flew by Jupiter (1979), Saturn (1981), Uranus (1986), and Neptune (1898).
What are the 2 space vehicles that have traveled farthest into the solar system?
The voyager space probes that visited the outer planets in the 70's and 80's, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, while the Voyager 2 probe visited all four gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 1 is the furthest man made object from Earth at around 122AU from Earth as of September 2012. That is 122 times the distance between the Earth and Sun.
Have any spacecraft or space probes visited Saturn?
Pioneer 11 visited Saturn in 1979, Voyager 1 in 1980, and Voyager 2 in 1981. These missions were fly-by missions, but Cassini-Huygens arrived in 2004 and is still operating from orbit around Saturn.
Why was voyager 2 sent out before voyager 1?
Voyager 2 was sent out first to allow it to take full advantage of an unusually convenient alignment of the planets allowing it to visit Uranus and Neptune as wellVoyager 1 was launched after voyager 2, but on a faster trajectory which allowed it to reach Jupiter and Saturn before voyager 2.
What planet did Voyager 1 visit?
Jupiter (Voyager 1 & 2)Saturn (Voyager 1 & 2)Uranus (Voyager 2)Neptune (Voyager 2)See related link for a full description of the Voyager exploration
Which planets have been viewed by the two voyager spacecrafts?
Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.

In the late 70s the voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes were sent to study which planet?
Jupiter voyager 1 used jupiters gravity to send it on to Saturn. voyager 2 went to Saturn uranus and neptune
How many planets has the voyager visited?
All four outer planets. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn only, and Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto, which is no longer considered to be a planet, was not included in the fly-by.
What year did voyagers 1 and 2 leave for Jupiter Saturn Uranus and Neptune?
Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977 and flew by Jupiter (1979) and Saturn (1980). Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977 and flew by Jupiter (1979), Saturn (1981), Uranus (1986), and Neptune (1898).
Was there any satellites landed on Saturn and what year?
No.... You cant land on saturn....it's a gas planet... both voyager 1 and voyager 2 went past it though

Spacecraft that flew by and photographed the 4 gas giants in the 1970s?
These were two probes called voyager 1 and voyager 2. Voyager 1 visited Jupiter and Saturn, while voyager 2 visited all four gas giants; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The probes also flew close to moons of these planets and discovered more moons in addition to many other things. Voyager 1 is now the most distant man made object from earth. Both are still able to send signals back to earth.
