Voyager 1 arrived at Saturn on November 12, 1980. This mission provided a wealth of information about Saturn's rings, moons, and atmosphere, significantly enhancing our understanding of the planet. It was the first spacecraft to visit Saturn, marking a major milestone in space exploration.
The three robotic missions that explored Saturn are Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, and Voyager 2. Pioneer 11 flew by Saturn in 1979, providing the first close-up images of the planet and its rings. Voyager 1 followed in 1980, offering detailed data and images, while Voyager 2 completed the trio with its flyby in 1981, further enhancing our understanding of Saturn and its moons.
Voyager 1 was launched on September 5, 1977 and flew by Jupiter (1979) and Saturn (1980). Voyager 2 was launched on August 20, 1977 and flew by Jupiter (1979), Saturn (1981), Uranus (1986), and Neptune (1898).
Four spacecraft have been sent to Saturn: Pioneer 11, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and the Cassini-Huygens mission. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 made flybys of Saturn while the Cassini-Huygens mission orbited the planet for over 13 years, studying its moons and rings in detail.
Voyager 2 was sent out first to allow it to take full advantage of an unusually convenient alignment of the planets allowing it to visit Uranus and Neptune as wellVoyager 1 was launched after voyager 2, but on a faster trajectory which allowed it to reach Jupiter and Saturn before voyager 2.
The primary spacecraft that have explored Saturn include the Pioneer 11, which flew by in 1979, and the Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 missions in 1980 and 1981, respectively. The most notable mission is the Cassini-Huygens mission, which orbited Saturn from 2004 to 2017 and deployed the Huygens probe to Titan in 2005. These missions have significantly advanced our understanding of Saturn and its moons.
Voyager 1 arrived in November 1980 and Voyager 2 in August 1981.
Voyager 1
No.... You cant land on saturn....it's a gas planet... both voyager 1 and voyager 2 went past it though

Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and Cassini.
Jupiter voyager 1 used jupiters gravity to send it on to Saturn. voyager 2 went to Saturn uranus and neptune
Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
yes, voyager 1, voyager 2, Cassini Huygens
