A space shuttle isn't a probe, because humans are able to fly it. Not only that, but a space probe is most likely NOT to have life-support systems aboard.

The shuttle has people the probe doesn't
How is a space probe different from a space shuttle?

Is a space shuttle a space probe or space satellite?
neither it is usually referred to as a launch vehicle. a space probe is unmanned and transmits data back to earth and a space satellite is something that orbits the earth. you could call the shuttle a satellite but it is not normally referred to as that.
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.'

When was the hubble space probe launched?
I think that means Hubble Space Telescope. It was carried into space by the Space Shuttle in 1990.
Why aren't space shuttles a space probe?
A space probe is an unmanned device that is sent into space for purposes of exploration. The space shuttle is a manned vehicle meant for research and delivering supplies, equipment, and people into low-Earth orbit.
Is there a man passing Pluto in the fastest space shuttle?
No. No space shuttle was ever built to leave orbit around Earth. The New Horizons space probe, an unmanned spacecraft, flew past Pluto in July 2015.
What do the space shuttles Columbia and Voyager have in common?
They were both launched into space by NASA. It should be noted that Voyager was NOT a space shuttle, but rather an unmanned deep space probe.
