Saturn now only has one orbiting space probe. NASA's Cassini probe, launched on October 15, 1997, it entered orbit intersection on July 1, 2004 and has been in orbit ever since.

It has been studying Saturn's moons, magnetosphere, rings, atmosphere etc. ever since. It will orbit until 2017, when the mission will end.

For more information check on the wikipedia Cassini article.
