The only spacecraft to ever visit Uranus is the
Voyager 2 probe. The Voyager 2 probe was
launched on August 20, 1977 and reached Uranus on
January 24, 1986. The Voyager 2 discovered
additional moons of Uranus and while the rings of
Uranus were discovered on
Earth, the probe did
capture some nice images of these very faint rings.
In addition, you may want to check out
AeroSpaceGuide. This site has some interesting
facts as well as mission summaries.
There are no further plans to send a probe to
Uranus.
