All three of those stages have been carried out for the Moon, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, a comet, and several asteroids. Several Soviet and U.S. robotic spacecraft have landed on Venus and the Moon, and the United States has landed spacecraft on the surface of Mars.
What planets have humans sent space probes to?
How many planets have been visited by probes?
Since the 1990s, a total of 16 minor planets – various asteroids, dwarf planets, and Kuiper belt objects – have been visited by space probes. Note that moons (not directly orbiting the Sun), comets and planets are not minor planets and thus are not included in the table below.
What are two planets that humans have explored with space probes?
After a flyby of Jupiter, the Cassini probe arrived at Saturn in 2004. It was the first spacecraft to orbit the ringed planet….Probing the Outer Solar System.
| Mission to the Outer Solar System | Objective | Date |
|---|---|---|
| Voyager 2 | Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune | (1977- |
| Galileo | Jupiter's moons | (1989-2003) |

Which all planets humans have visited?
First of all, the Moon ins't a planet; it's a moon. And humans have never set foot on any other planet, although we have sent probes to Mercury, Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn. Humans have not visited any other planet. They have visited all planets with robotic spacecraft.
What probes have been sent into space?
2000–present
| Spacecraft | Type |
|---|---|
| Ulysses (third pass) | orbiter |
| DSCOVR | orbiter |
| Parker Solar Probe | orbiter/flyby (approach 26 times) |
| Solar Orbiter | orbiter |
How many probes have been sent to Pluto?
Only one spacecraft has visited the Kuiper Belt. NASA's New Horizons flew past Pluto in July 2015 – sending back the first clear, close-up images of the tiny world.
Has anyone went to Uranus?
24, 1986: NASA's Voyager 2 made the first – and so far the only – visit to Uranus. The spacecraft came within 50,600 miles (81,500 kilometers) of the planet's cloud tops. Voyager discovered 10 new moons, two new rings and a magnetic field stronger than that of Saturn.
Is there a probe on Venus?
Observation by spacecraft. There have been numerous unmanned missions to Venus. Ten Soviet probes have achieved a soft landing on the surface, with up to 110 minutes of communication from the surface, all without return. Launch windows occur every 19 months.
Where did NASA’s Mars Odyssey probe land on Mars?
Cape Canaveral Mars Odyssey launched from Cape Canaveral on April 7, 2001, and arrived at Mars about 200 days later on October 24. Upon arrival, the spacecraft's main engine fired in order to decelerate, which allowed it to be captured into orbit around Mars.
