Jupiter missions Saturn missions Uranus missions Neptune missions

Minor planets
There have been thity two overall missions towards minor planets, with four of them being flyby missions that were not intended to explore minor planets, marked in grey background.

Many minor planets are in two domains:
 * Asteroid belt, between 2-3 AU
 * Kuiper belt, between 30-60 AU

Uranus
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited Uranus, making a single flyby as part of its grand tour of the outer planets.

Neptune
Voyager 2 is the only spacecraft to have visited Neptune, making a single flyby as part of its grand tour of the outer planets.

Saturn
Four spacecraft have visited Saturn; Pioneer 11, Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 made flybys, while Cassini–Huygens entered orbit, and deployed a probe into the atmosphere of Titan.

Jupiter
Eight spacecraft have been launched to explore Jupiter, with two other spacecraft making gravity-assist flybys.

New Horizons, although eventually targeting Pluto, used Jupiter for a gravity assist and had an extensive almost half year observation campaign of Jupiter and its moons (hence it is counted in the eight). {{legend|#cccccc|Gravity assist, destination elsewhere}}

Mission milestone by country
This is a list of major milestones achieved by country. Recorded is the first spacecraft from each respective country to accomplish each milestone, to regardless of mission type or intended outcome. For example, Beresheet was not intended to be an impactor, but achieved that milestone incidentally. † First to achieve
