Spacecrafts visit planets from "summary" of Space Encyclopedia by David A. Aguilar,Christine Pulliam,Patricia Daniels

Spacecraft have traveled to every planet in our solar system, providing us with valuable information about these distant worlds. These robotic explorers have captured stunning images and collected important data that have greatly expanded our knowledge of the planets. The first spacecraft to visit another planet was Mariner 2, which flew by Venus in 1962. Since then, numerous missions have been sent to explore planets such as Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, and even distant Pluto. Each of these missions has been carefully planned and executed to ensure the success of the mission. One of the most famous spacecraft to visit another planet is the Mars rover Curiosity. This rover has been exploring the surface of Mars since 2012, sending back detailed images and data about the red planet. Curiosity has made many important discoveries, including evidence of past water on Mars. Another important spacecraft is the Cassini-Huygens mission, which explored Saturn and its moons. This mission provided us with detailed images of Saturn's rings and discovered new moons around the planet. The Huygens probe even landed on the surface of Saturn's largest moon, Titan, providing us with valuable data about this mysterious world. Spacecraft have also visited the gas giants Jupiter and Neptune, sending back images and data that have greatly expanded our understanding of these planets. These missions have revealed new information about their atmospheres, moons, and rings, providing scientists with valuable insights into the workings of these distant worlds.
