On March 2, 1972, Pioneer 10 was launched on an Atlas/Centaur rocket from Cape Canaveral. Pioneer 10 was Earth’s first space probe to an outer planet, encountering Jupiter on December 4, 1973. Pioneer 11 followed its sister ship to Jupiter, and continued on to encounter Saturn on September 1, 1979.
With their primary missions completed, the two spacecraft embarked on escape orbits to opposite sides of the solar system, traveling nearly along the ecliptic, the imaginary plane described by Earth’s orbit about the Sun. Pioneer 10 became the first human artifact to pass beyond the orbit of the farthest known planet, Pluto, in June 1983.

This is a delightful link: http://www.worldspaceflight.com/probes/
According to the page at: http://www.worldspaceflight.com/probes/outer.htm
The voyager 1 mission to the outer planets was rechristened as Voyager interplanetary mission in 1989. "On 14 February 1990, Voyager 1 looked back and took the first "family portrait" of the solar system, a mosaic of 60 frames of the Sun and six of the planets (Venus, Earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune) as seen from "outside" the solar system."
According to the site: http://www.spacetoday.org/SolSys/Voyagers20years.html
There are three extrasolar probes:
Voyager 1, Voyager 2, and Pioneer 10.
According to : http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_1
There is some debate about when the various probes will reach the heliopause.
