What probe flew by Neptune?

The Voyager 2 spacecraft flew by Neptune in 1989, capturing close-up images and data of the planet and its moons. This flyby provided valuable insight into Neptune's atmosphere, magnetic field, and moons. It remains the only spacecraft to have visited the planet.


What is the farthest planet reached by a satellite?

Neptune - the furthest planet has been reached by a probe called Voyager 2, which was launched in the 70''. It flew by all four gas giant planets in the 70's and 80's(Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and then Neptune). It is now on its way out of the solar system.


What are the 2 space vehicles that have traveled farthest into the solar system?

The voyager space probes that visited the outer planets in the 70's and 80's, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn, while the Voyager 2 probe visited all four gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. Voyager 1 is the furthest man made object from Earth at around 122AU from Earth as of September 2012. That is 122 times the distance between the Earth and Sun.

Spacecraft that flew by and photographed the 4 gas giants in the 1970s?

These were two probes called voyager 1 and voyager 2. Voyager 1 visited Jupiter and Saturn, while voyager 2 visited all four gas giants; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. The probes also flew close to moons of these planets and discovered more moons in addition to many other things. Voyager 1 is now the most distant man made object from earth. Both are still able to send signals back to earth.
