Five notable space probes are:
- Mariner 10, an American robotic space probe launched by NASA on November 3, 1973, to fly by the planets Mercury and Venus.
- Venera 3, a Soviet Venera program space probe was built and launched by the Soviet Union to explore the surface of Venus in November 1965.
- The Venera 7, a Sovietspacecraft, was part of the Venera series of probes to Venus. It became the first man-made spacecraft to land successfully on another planet, and transmit data from there back to Earth. It was launched in August of 1970.
- A solar observatory in the International Sun-Earth Explorer series, ICE was sent into solar orbit to make the first close observations of a comet, Comet Giacobini-Zinner, in 1985 as a prelude to studies of Halley's Comet.
- Sakigake(translating to "pioneer", or "Pathfinder0 was Japan's first interplanetary spacecraft. Launched in January 1985, it was the first deep space probe to be launched by any country other than the USA or the Soviet Union.

Which space shuttle launched the planetary probes Magellan and Galileo as well as the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory?
The space shuttle Atlantis launched the Magellan and Galileo planetary probes, as well as the Compton Gamma Ray Observatory.
How many space probes have earth had?
Earth has launched over 100 space probes since the 1950s. These probes have been sent to study planets, moons, asteroids, and other bodies in our solar system, as well as to explore deep space beyond.
Are space probes piloted or unpiloted why would they be that way?
Space probes are not piloted. Probes are launched to places that are months or years away in travel time. A pilot would require too much food, air, and water.
The names of two US space probes were?
Two of the US space probes are Voyager I and Voyager 2. NASA launched Voyager I on September 5, 1977. Voyager II ended up being launched before Voyager I on August 20, 1977.

What different space probes where sent to space?
It's not that I don't want to answer this question, it's that it's scope is beyond Answers.com. There have been scores of space probes sent into space (taking all nations into consideration). Your best bet is to research "space probes launched from earth". Allow yourself a couple of hours to read it all.
What are unmanned probes?
Unmanned probes are space vehicles that are launched to explore distant planetary bodies, moons, or regions of space without the need for human crew. These robotic probes gather scientific data, images, and samples, expanding our knowledge of the universe. Unmanned probes allow for cost-effective and safe exploration of space.
