Exploration of Saturn

Pioneer 11 also measured the temperature of Titan at 250 K.[3] In November 1980, the Voyager 1 probe visited the Saturn system.

The flyby also changed the spacecraft's trajectory out from the plane of the Solar System which prevented Voyager 1 from completing the Planetary Grand Tour of Uranus, Neptune and Pluto.

Voyager 2 probed Saturn's upper atmosphere with its radar, to measure temperature and density profiles.

Unfortunately, during the flyby, the probe's turnable camera platform stuck for a couple of days and some planned imaging was lost.

Huygens descended onto the surface of Titan on January 14, 2005, sending a flood of data during the atmospheric descent and after the landing.

On March 10, 2006, NASA reported that the Cassini probe found evidence of liquid water reservoirs that erupt in geysers on Saturn's moon Enceladus.

[5] In July 2006, Cassini saw the first proof of hydrocarbon lakes near Titan's north pole, which was confirmed in January 2007.

[1][2] China's CNSA two Shensuo spacecraft that was expected to launch in 2024[needs update] may include a flyby of Saturn.

[7][8] NASA's Dragonfly spacecraft will launch in 2028 to visit the Saturn system, with the objective of landing on the moon Titan.
