The "Voyager 2" spacecraft.
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).
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.
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.
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.
Voyager is a spacecraft probe. It is not a satellite. NASA's twin Voyager spacecraft launched in August and September 1977. Voyager 1 focused on Jupiter and Saturn., while Voyager 2 flew past Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.
Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
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).
Voyager 2 flew by four planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune.

All four outer planets. Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter and Saturn only, and Voyager 2 flew by Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune. Pluto, which is no longer considered to be a planet, was not included in the fly-by.
Yes, the Voyager 2 probe visited all four gas giant planets; Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It flew by Neptune in 1989.

The Voyager probes 1 and 2, both launched in 1977, visited Jupiter and Saturn before heading into deep space. Voyager 2 also visited Uranus and Neptune.
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.
The spacecraft that flew by and photographed the four gas giants in the 1970s was Voyager 2. It captured images and data of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune during its mission. Voyager 2 launched in 1977 and completed its encounters with the gas giants by 1989.
The Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 probes flew past Jupiter before continuing their journey outward to deep space. The Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes also conducted flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune before heading towards interstellar space.
