What is the difference between manned and unmanned space probe?
manned space probe is when there are people traveling in a spaceship. whereas unmanned is when there is nobody in a ship unmanned is launched for the first time to a planet to see that a manned can land.
What is the difference between a manned and unmanned spacecraft?
there is no man in the space craft
An unmanned spacecraft that is launched specifically to explore the unknown?
space probe
What do you call an unmanned spacecraft launched specifically to explore the unknown?
a space probe.
Why is most space exploration accomplished with spacecraft without astronauts?
The most obvious answer to your question is the fact that people have to return to earth, while an unmanned craft can stay in space infinitely. Manned spacecraft require things like oxygen, water, food and communications equipment, none of which are required by an unmanned spacecraft. That means unmanned spacecrafts can be sent into space for a fraction of the cost of a manned spacecraft. So basically, it's much cheaper and safer to send unmanned spacecrafts to explore the universe.

What are the different space probes and their mission?
A space probe is an unmanned spacecraft sent into space.

What is a vehicle used for space travel?
Spacecraft is the generic term there are both manned and unmanned types such as satellites for the unmanned variety.

What is a unmanned space probe?
an unmanned space probe is a satellite orbiting around the planet
What are the advantages of sending an unmanned rather then a manned spacecraft to space?
Several advantages; mainly:A human needs food, air, and protection. An unmanned craft needs none of these; its use of energy and other "extras" is much less than for a human.An unmanned craft can be sacrificed; there is no moral obligation to return it safely to Earth.In summary, all this makes an unmanned spacecraft much cheaper than a manned spacecraft.
When did moon landings start?
The first unmanned space probe to reach the moon was the USSR's Luna 2, in Sep 1959. The first manned spacecraft to land on the the moon was the USA's Apollo 11, on July 20, 1969.
Do space probes have astronauts aboard them?
The term "space probe" is normally limited to unmanned (robotic) spacecraft. So, no, space probes do not have people aboard them.
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.
