The Voyager
The spacecraft that flew by and photographed the four gas giants in the 1970s was Voyager 2. It captured images and data of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune during its mission. Voyager 2 launched in 1977 and completed its encounters with the gas giants by 1989.
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.
That was the Voyager I and II spacecraft. Voyager I is 10 billion miles away from the sun (the Earth is only ~93 million miles from the sun and Pluto is 3.67 billion miles). A radio signal from Voyager takes ~15 hours to reach Earth.

Alan Shepard flew in the Mercury-Redstone 3 spacecraft, which was also known as Freedom 7.

Voyager 2
i believe it was Galieo but it could be Magellan Type your answer here...

The answer is the Apollo11
The Mariner 10 probe photographed Mercury in 1973. The MESSENGER spacecraft flew by Mercury in January 2008, and revealed previously unseen details in high resolution photographs. Both of these spacecraft were launched by the US. As far as is known to the public, no manned missions and no astronauts have ever been anywhere near Mercury.
It is called the Apollo spacecraft.
The Mariner spacecraft were unmanned at launch.

Neil Armstrong flew in the Apollo 11 spacecraft.
