The first spacecraft to visit Dione was [[Voyager 1]], which took several high-quality images. The [[Cassini Huygens mission|Cassini]] Orbiter has taken several images of much higher quality, especially on October 11, 2005, when Cassini made one targeted rendezvous with Dione. Mission planners have scheduled another rendezvous with Dione during the first two-year extension of the Cassini mission.
