The planet is so far away that only a small number of space probes have reached it. Much of the information on the planet is made by specialized observations from Earth and from the orbiting Hubble Telescope.

Yes, Saturn has been explored by several spacecraft, including Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and 2, Cassini-Huygens, and most recently, the Juno spacecraft. These missions have provided valuable data and insights into the planet's atmosphere, rings, and moons.

In addition to countless observations from Earth-based telescopes for 400 years, there have been a series of robotic probes sent to the vicinity of Saturn. The first were the two Voyager spacecraft, which sent back many good quality photographs and scientific data. The most recent probe was the Cassini spacecraft, which detached a small Huygens vehicle to make a soft landing on the moon Titan.

There have been four missions to Saturn to date.

The first visit was by Pioneer 11 in September 1979, which flew within 20 000 km of the planet's cloud tops.

Voyager 1 then visited the Saturn system in November 1980, sending back better pictures of the planet, the first high resolution images. Voyager 1 also performed a close flyby of Titan, Saturns largest moon and the only moon in the solarsystem with a thick atmosphere.

In August 1981, Voyager 2 continued the study of the Saturn system, providing further close-up images of Saturn's moons

On July 1 2004, the Cassini-Huygens space probe entered into orbit around Saturn. The orbiter released the Huygens probe on December 25 2004 into the atmosphere of Titan, which descended onto the surface of of the moon on January 14 2005, sending back lots of atmospheric data, before landing on the surface of the moon and sending back some imagary of the moons surface. The Cassini orbiter remains in orbit around Saturn to this day.
