Two identical spacecrafts know as Voyager 1 & 2 were designed to study Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 was launched first on August 20, 1977 and its sister craft Voyager 1 went into space on September 5, 1977. Even though Voyager 1 left almost a month after its counterpart, it arrived at Jupiter on March 5, 1979 almost four months sooner than Voyager 2 which arrived on July 9, 1979. The spacecrafts continued to function long past their planned 5 year mission. Voyager 1 continued to orbit Saturn and further study the planet itself as well as its moons, while Voyager 2 went on to study Uranus, Neptune, their moons, and finally was sent on a path into interstellar space where it continues to transmit data. In their joint mission, Voyager 1 & 2 explored all the giant outer planets of the solar system, 48 of the planets' moons, and each of the planets' systems of rings and magnetic fields. Before its long journey in interstellar space, Voyager 2 captured a picture looking across our entire solar system. The information that scientists collected from the Voyager crafts would answer many key questions in astronomy while raising many more new questions which have yet to be answered.
Yes, the Voyager missions were run by NASA and they sent the probes.
The US sent the Voyager probes, Viking probes, and New Horizons probe to explore space, while the USSR sent the Venera probes, Luna probes, and the Mars probes. These space probes played crucial roles in advancing our understanding of the solar system and beyond.

Some of the space probes sent to Jupiter include Voyager 1 and 2, Galileo, Juno, and the upcoming Europa Clipper mission. These probes have provided valuable information about Jupiter's atmosphere, moons, and magnetic field.
Two examples of probes are spacecraft like Voyager or New Horizons, which are sent to explore outer planets and the edges of our solar system, and scientific instruments like thermometers or pH meters used to measure temperature or acidity levels in various substances.

Yes, the Voyager missions were run by NASA and they sent the probes.
At current we have sent, or are sending, probes to all of the planets in our solar system. The probe Voyager has visited several planets, including Jupiter and Neptune, while Cassini is currently in orbit around Saturn.
The Voyager probes were deep space probes, sent to scout out the outer planets and deep space, so they never really "landed" on any of the planets although voyager I was sent first voyager II overtook it and encountered Saturn on august 1981.
No space probes have visited Uranus to date. The only spacecraft that has conducted a close flyby of Uranus was NASA's Voyager 2 probe in 1986. There are proposed missions in development that aim to send probes to Uranus in the future.
The US sent the Voyager probes, Viking probes, and New Horizons probe to explore space, while the USSR sent the Venera probes, Luna probes, and the Mars probes. These space probes played crucial roles in advancing our understanding of the solar system and beyond.

Space probes have been sent to Neptune to study the planet's atmosphere, rings, and moons, and to gather data that can help us better understand the outer solar system and its formation. The information collected from these missions can also provide insights into the composition and behavior of other gas giants in our galaxy.
The Voyager 2 went to Neptune on it's last stop in the solar system.
Only one spacecraft has visited Neptune: NASA's Voyager 2 probe, which made a flyby of the planet in August 1989. Voyager 2 provided our first close-up images and scientific data of Neptune and its moons.
