This is way too broad a question to be answered here, but I'll give you just one positive example:
Back in the 80's, a group of NASA scientists was analyzing data recovered from unmanned space vehicles that had flown by the planet Venus. They discovered that a group of chemical compounds present in Venus' atmosphere was effectively breaking down ozone (O3) into diatomic oxygen (O2) at a rapid pace. This was causing dangerous solar radiation to rain down on Venus' surface, rendering it inhospitable. (It's already inhospitable anyway though due to the extremely high temperature.) Then, the scientists wondered if those same chemicals might be present in our atmosphere, where they could do similar damage to our ozone layer. They looked, and they found them. Sure enough, these compounds, called chlorocarbons, chlorofluorocarbons, and other halogenated methanes, were not only present, but on the increase. We had to really hustle to stop the worldwide production of them, and it very well may have saved our butts from extinction. All because we sent robot probes to Venus. Thanks, NASA!
