According to the NASA Jet Propulsion Laboratory website (refer to the link, below), the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft was launched from Florida on October 15, 1997 (EST) and reached Saturn on June 30, 2004 (PDT), which means that it took the spacecraft 6 years, 8 months, 16 days (including the arrival date).

Which three planets have more than 15 moons?

Jupiter and Saturn each have 60 or more known moons. In Saturn's case, there are many small moonlets in the ring system. In Jupiter's case, a number of small moons (likely captured asteroids) have comparatively long and elliptical orbits far from the planet.


How long does it take to get to uranus from Saturn?

The time it takes to travel from Saturn to Uranus depends on the spacecraft's speed and trajectory. For example, the Voyager 2 spacecraft took about 8 years to travel from Saturn to Uranus, completing the journey in 1986. Future missions could vary significantly in duration based on advancements in technology and the specific mission design. Generally, a similar journey could take several years.


How long does it take to travel from Saturn to Uranus?

The travel time from Saturn to Uranus depends on the spacecraft's speed and trajectory. For example, the Voyager 2 spacecraft took about 8 years to travel from Saturn to Uranus, following a gravity assist route. In general, a direct journey could take anywhere from 8 to 14 years, depending on the technology used and the specific launch window. Modern missions may vary significantly based on advancements in propulsion systems.


How long does it take to travel to Jupiter by Car?

It is not possible to travel to Jupiter by car due to the vast distance and the fact that Jupiter is a gas giant planet with no solid surface to land on.


How long does planet Jupiter take to travel once around earth?

It takes Jupiter approximately 12 years to orbit the sun.

What planet were voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes sent to study?

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.

Have there been manned missions to the outer planets?

No, there have not been any manned missions to the outer planets such as Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. All of the missions to these planets have been conducted by robotic spacecraft. The extreme distances, harsh environment, and long duration of the journey make it currently impractical for human travel to these distant worlds.
