Is the space shuttle a space probe or a satellite?

A space probe is an unmanned spacecraft designed to explore the solar system and transmit data back to earth.A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet.By these definitions the space shuttle is not a space probe and is only sometimes a satellite. It is considered a satellite only when it is in orbit around Earth.However, the space shuttle is not usually referred to as a 'satellite' no matter if it is in orbit or not. Normally it is called a 'launch vehicle.'
