Is the voyager 2 a space probe?
yes voyager 2 is a space probe
Are the Voyager 1 and 2 the only scientific instruments ever to visit Neptune?
Voyager 1 never visited Neptune. Voyager 2 has. Voyager 2 is currently the only scientific instrument to do a fly-by of Neptune.
Why was voyager 2 sent out before voyager 1?
Voyager 2 was sent out first to allow it to take full advantage of an unusually convenient alignment of the planets allowing it to visit Uranus and Neptune as wellVoyager 1 was launched after voyager 2, but on a faster trajectory which allowed it to reach Jupiter and Saturn before voyager 2.
What tools were used to study uranus?
Telescopes, spectroscopy, and a "Voyager" space probe.
Did any satellites visit neptune?

In the late 1970's the voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes were sent to study which planet?
Jupiter
Which planet was voyager 1 and voyager 2 probes sent to study on in the late 1970's?
Jupiter
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
Why did NASA launch voyager 1 and voyager 2?
The Voyager program was designed to study Jupiter and Saturn but was extended to study Uranus, Neptune, and the outer reaches of the solar system. The planetary alignment that allowed Voyager 2 to visit four planets was an opportunity that would not recur for 175 years.
WHAT went into space on August 20 1977?
Two identical spacecrafts know as Voyager 1 & 2 were designed to study Jupiter and Saturn. Voyager 2 was launched first on August 20, 1977
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.
When did space probes Voyager 1 And Voyager 2 launch?
Voyager 1 was launched on the 5th of September 1977 and Voyager 2 was launched before voyager 1 on the 20th of August 1977.
Is the voyager 2 a space probe?
yes voyager 2 is a space probe
Are the Voyager 1 and 2 the only scientific instruments ever to visit Neptune?
Voyager 1 never visited Neptune. Voyager 2 has. Voyager 2 is currently the only scientific instrument to do a fly-by of Neptune.
Does voyager 2 carry a space probe on board?
Voyager 2 is a space probe.
What space probes have traveled to Uranus?
Voyager 1 and Voyager 2.
Which spacecrafts have explored Saturn?
Voyager 1, Voyager 2 and Cassini.
