Spacecraft from Earth have indeed been sent to Venus - in fact the first one to land on another planet was the Russian Venera 7 probe in the 1970s, along with several others in that series, and later Venera 9 which was Venus's first artificial satelite (orbiter). The USSR continued to send probes in the 70s and 80s including the Vega series. The United States also sent the Mariner series which included close approaches (flyby), and later the Galileo, Magellin, and Messenger probes for global mapping and gravity assists for later destinations. In the 1990s the ESA got on the scene with separate or joint projects like Cassini and Venus Express. Japan also sent several missions including two orbiters.

The exploration of Mercury has taken only a minor role in the space interests of the world.

It is the least explored inner planet.

Mariner 10 was a probe whose primary objective was to observe the atmosphere, surface, and physical characteristics of Mercury and Venus.

It was a low-cost mission completed for under $98 million.

Mariner 10 was launched at 21:45 PST on November 2, 1973, from Cape Kennedy.

MESSENGER is a probe launched by NASA that is currently en route to Mercury.

MESSENGER stands for MErcury Surface, Space ENvironment, GEochemistry, and Ranging.

It was launched from Cape Canaveral on August 3, 2004, after a two-day delay due to bad weather.

To correct the speed of the satellite it undertook gravitational slingshot flybys of planets several times.

It passed by the Earth in February 2005 and then Venus in October 2006 and in October 2007.

The total travel time before entering orbit is about six and a half years.

Before entering orbit in 2011, the probe made three passes of Mercury.

As of 2008, the Mariner 10 and MESSENGER missions have been the only missions that have made close observations of Mercury.

MESSENGER made a fly-by of Mercury on 14 January 2008, to further investigate the observations made by Mariner 10 in 1975.

Yes, Saturn has a man-made satellite named Cassini. It was orignally sen to observe Saturn's largest moon Titan, but has now studied many of Saturn's other moons. Cassini was originally launched in 1977 and has drastically biggered our understanding of Saturn.

New Horizons is on the way to Pluto, which it should reach in July 2015, though it will only pass by and not land on it, as it is continuing on to the Kuiper Belt.
