Saturn proves a difficult planet to land on, due to its highly volatile atmosphere and storms, but missions have successfully landed probes on its satellites, and observed its atmosphere.

September 1979

Saturn's atmosphere was first observed by Pioneer 11 at a distance of around 20,000km.

November 1980

Voyager 1 visited the Saturn system

August 1981

Voyager 2 arrived to continue the study of the Saturn system that Voyager 1 was doing.

July 2004

The Cassini-Huygens spacecraft entered into orbit around Saturn and carried out a close flyby of Phoebe. The Cassini-Huygens craft released the Huygens probe on December 25, 2004 which descended to Saturn's satellite 'Titan' on January 14, 2005.
