Three missions were flybys, which formed an extended foundation of knowledge about the system. The Cassini–Huygens spacecraft was launched in 1997; the Cassini spacecraft was in orbit from 2004 - 2017.[1][2] Summary of missions to the outer Solar System System Spacecraft Jupiter Saturn Uranus Neptune Pluto Pioneer 10 1973 flyby Pioneer 11 1974 flyby 1979 flyby Voyager 1 1979 flyby 1980 flyby Voyager 2 1979 flyby 1981 flyby 1986 flyby 1989 flyby Galileo 1995–2003 orbiter; 1995, 2003 atmospheric Ulysses 1992, 2004 gravity assist Cassini–Huygens 2000 gravity assist 2004– orbiter; 2005 Titan lander New Horizons 2007 gravity assist 2015 flyby Juno 2016– orbiter Flyb

The Flagship-class unmanned robotic spacecraft comprised both NASA's Cassini probe, and ESA's Huygens lander which would be landed on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.[7] Cassini was the fourth space probe to visit Saturn and the first to enter its orbit. The craft were named after astronomers Giovanni Cassini and Christiaan Huygens.
