What are the names of the probes that helped scientists discover planets?

None specifically. There have been several space craft starting with Voyager 1 that have observed the Jupiter system including Europa, but none have landed there.
I am unaware of any planned landers there; this will be very difficult to arrange, because we want to ensure that we do not inadvertently contaminate Europa, which may hold the best chance of finding some form of extraterrestrial life. It is difficult to TOTALLY sterilize anything that has come from the surface of the Earth, a planet which is teeming with the most astonishing forms of life.

No humans from Earth have ever visited any other planet.

How do you scientists explore the moon and planets in the solar system?
Telescopes, Space missions, probes all help scientists discover more about the moon.
How do space probes help scientists study other planets?
It helps you look far into space. :)
What are the probes called which can drive on planets?
Anal Probes. Look out!
Why are the space missions and robotic probes necessary for scientists to learn about other planets?
The facts about every planet that we read in different sources are always approximate predictions until a probe really tests it. For example, Mars was thought to have 99 % CO2 in it's atmosphere but when the space probes tested it it came out that there was O2 present there too.
Who developed the Venera series probes?
The Venera series probes were developed by scientists and engineers in the Soviet Union. The name comes from the Russian word for Venus, which was to be their destination.
How do you scientists explore the moon and planets in the solar system?
Telescopes, Space missions, probes all help scientists discover more about the moon.
What is the space that probes provides scientists with information on gaseous giant planets?
The Voyager space probe provides scientists with information on gaseous giant planets.
How do space probes help scientists study other planets?
It helps you look far into space. :)
How do scientists learn more about planets?
By observing them regularly using telescopes and by sending orbital or lander probes to them.
Why would scientists build space probes that don't carry people into space?
To explore and look at other planets and further
What are the probes called which can drive on planets?
Anal Probes. Look out!
Are space probes the same thing as satilight?
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.
What opportunities do space probes offer scientists?
Space probes offer scientists instruments that can collect data, but has no human crew.
How are scientists trying to fing evidence of life on other plantes in the salor system?
by sending probes to the planets one will come back from Pluto in about 4 years
What did the Mariner probes study?
they studied the structure of planets
What is an object sent from earth that passes by planets and collects data about th planets?
probes or satellites
What opportunities do space probes offer?
Space probes offer scientists instruments that can collect data, but has no human crew.
