What else can I help you with?
In the late 70s the voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes were sent to study which planet?
Jupiter voyager 1 used jupiters gravity to send it on to Saturn. voyager 2 went to Saturn uranus and neptune
What probes flew past Jupiter and other planets before heading outward to deep space?
The Pioneer 10 and Pioneer 11 probes flew past Jupiter before continuing their journey outward to deep space. The Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 probes also conducted flybys of Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune before heading towards interstellar space.
What probes flew past Jupiter and other planets before heading outwards deep space?
Voyager 1 and 2 visited the outer planets and went on into interstellar space.
Have any space probes been sent to Jupiter?
Yes, several probes have flown past Jupiter over the years, including; Pioneer 11, Pioneer 12, Voyager 1, Voyager 2, Ulysses, Cassini and New Horizons. There has also been one orbiter, Galileo, which went into orbit around Jupiter for around 7 years from Dec 1995 until September 2003. It released a probe into Jupiter, then was deliberately steered into the planet itself at the end of its mission.
Which space probes were sent to Neptune?
The Voyager 2 went to Neptune on it's last stop in the solar system.
What planet were voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes sent to study?
Two identical spacecrafts know as Voyager 1 & 2 were designed to study Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 was launched first on August 20, 1977 and its sister craft Voyager 1 went into space on September 5, 1977. Even though Voyager 1 left almost a month after its counterpart, it arrived at Jupiter on March 5, 1979 almost four months sooner than Voyager 2 which arrived on July 9, 1979. The spacecrafts continued to function long past their planned 5 year mission. Voyager 1 continued to orbit Saturn and further study the planet itself as well as its moons, while Voyager 2 went on to study Uranus, Neptune, their moons, and finally was sent on a path into interstellar space where it continues to transmit data. In their joint mission, Voyager 1 & 2 explored all the giant outer planets of the solar system, 48 of the planets' moons, and each of the planets' systems of rings and magnetic fields. Before its long journey in interstellar space, Voyager 2 captured a picture looking across our entire solar system. The information that scientists collected from the Voyager crafts would answer many key questions in astronomy while raising many more new questions which have yet to be answered.
What kind of spacecrafts went to Jupiter?
So far 8 space probes have been to Jupiter: The first one was Pioneer 10 in 1973, followed by Pioneer 11 in 1974, Voyagers 1 and 2 in 1979, Ulysses in 1992, Galileo in 1995, Cassini in 2000, and New Horizons in 2007. Further probes planned are the Juno space probe, due to launch sometime in 2011, and the Europa Jupiter System Mission, planned for 2020.
When did pioneer 12 travel to Jupiter?
Voyager 1 reached Jupiter in 1979, and made its closest approach to the planet on March 5, 1979.
How do robotic devices help further your understanding of the universe?
So far, all probes that went to other planets were robotic devices: Pioneer, Voyager, the devices that landed on Mars, etc.
How many robots went to see mercury?
There have been two space probes: Mariner 10 and Messenger.
What are three of the names of the robot explored Jupiter and what year?
Juno: Launched in 2011, Juno reached Jupiter's orbit in 2016 and continues to study the planet's atmosphere and magnetic field. Galileo: Launched in 1989, Galileo arrived at Jupiter in 1995, providing valuable insights into the planet's moons and magnetosphere. Voyager 1: Launched in 1977, Voyager 1 flew by Jupiter in 1979, capturing images and data of the planet and its moons before continuing its journey out of the Solar System.
Why didn't the Voyager use solar energy?
Voyager spacecraft were too far away from the Sun to rely on solar energy. Instead, they used radioisotope thermoelectric generators (RTGs) to convert the heat generated by the decay of radioactive isotopes into electricity. This allowed Voyager to continue operating in the dark reaches of space where solar power would have been ineffective.
