The Cassini unmanned satellite has been orbiting Saturn since 2004, and its mission will continue until 2017. No manned mission to the Moon, much less to any other planet, is currently being developed.

NASA has proposed another unmanned probe to the moons Titan or Enceladus as part of the exploration of the planetary system. However, this is still in the planning stages.

Saturn has been visited by several space missions, the most notable being Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and 2, and the Cassini-Huygens mission.

The Cassini-Huygens mission, which launched in 1997, orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017 and included the Huygens probe, which landed on Titan, Saturn’s largest moon. In total, there have been four primary missions that have provided extensive data on Saturn and its moons.
