No they aren't the same. A satellite is on a defined orbit and a probe is something sent to discover planets or other space objects.

How do solar powered space probes work?
the same as they do on earth!
How are satellites space shuttles and space probes used to explore space?
Satelites in space are used for examining the solar system.There are cameras in the satelites.The satelites can take pictures and we can observe what is in the solar system.Space probes are used for the same thing.Nasa puts space probes onto some planets and see what is on it. I Hope this helps :) no, a satellite is controlled from the earth to signal the satellite in space
What is used to provide energy for space probes?
There are a number of options like solar or nuclear energy or chemical energy and the same goes for propulsion+the ion drive
What did the sky lab do?
The sky-lab did the same thing a space station would do
Does earth and moon have the same weight?
There is no such thing as weight in space seeing as there is no gravity.

How has space technology improved from 60 years ago and how has it helped us in further space discoveries today?
Technology has improved in many ways. Telescopes, Space probes and space shuttle along with many other things help us get a better knowledge of space. More powerful telescopes let us see things very far from earth. Good space probes go more far out in space and are able to learn more about space. Space shuttles do the same thing as space probes but only have humans

How will data from space probes help us understand the earth's environment?
data from space probes will help us understand the earth's environment because if the probes go to a different planet or moon that have the same early atmosphere as earth once had,then that data could reveal the earths early days and how earth looked but
When viewed from space why is Earth always the same way up?
We simply choose to orient the cameras on our satellites and deep space probes so that it appears that way to us. Technically there is no "up" in space.

What tool do astronomers use to study space?
they use space probes,satellites,and of coarse,telescopes.
Are volume and space the same thing?
Volume measures the amount of space that is occupied by a three-dimensional object so it can be considered the same as or similar to the measurement of space.
How do you take screenshots in Thing Thing Arena 3?
Press space and the mouse at the same time
Is a space pilot and a commander are the same thing?
No as the commander will be higher in rank.
What is the difference between space physics and Astro physics?
There isn't a difference. Astrophysics is the same thing as 'space physics'.
What did the sky lab do?
The sky-lab did the same thing a space station would do
