How do space probes gather information?

Answer 1

To reach another planet, the simplest method, but wasteful of fuel, would be to head straight for it. More complex techniques, such as gravitational slingshots, can be more fuel-efficient, though they may require the probe to spend more time in transit. A technique using very little propulsion, but possibly requiring a considerable amount of time, is to follow a trajectory on the Interplanetary Transport Network.

Answer 2

A space probe is a scientific space exploration mission in which a robotic spacecraft leaves the gravity well of Earth and approaches the Moon or enters interplanetary or interstellar space.Once a probe has left the vicinity of Earth, its trajectory will likely take it along an orbit around the Sun similar to the Earth's orbit. To reach another planet, the simplest method is to execute a maneuver. More complex techniques, such as gravitational slingshots, can be more efficient, though they may require the probe to spend more time in transit. A technique using very little NANA, but possibly requiring a considerable amount of time, is to follow a trajectory on the Interplanetary Transport Network.

Answer 3

Communications with space probes is done via electromagnetic radiation, or "radio waves" or radio frequency (RF) energy. This RF is in the microwave band, which is at the upper end of what we call radio waves. We use microwaves because (compared to lower frequency RF) they have a greater data carrying capacity (information per unit of time), and the equipment used to transmit them, particularly the antennas, is better suited to the purpose of "aiming" the signal. Directing a signal as we do increases what is called gain in the system. We use a dish (parabolic reflector) to transmit almost all the energy in one direction, which gives us gain (an increase of signal strength). We also use the dish to capture the faint returning signal, just as a reflecting telescope captures the tiny amount of light from a distance star. Again, it's a gain thing. Additionally, the use of microwaves is best for the probe, too. It has limited power, and we need to keep its mass low yet keep it functional. All the problems we have with communication are compounded in space. Microwaves are the best solution to the problem.

Answer 4

first of all its spelled do not does and it explores space and collects samples

Answer 5

Space probes gather information by taking pictures and by sending data back for study. The probes receive commands from space centers on Earth to send back the information that they gathered.

Answer 6

It is made of titanium aluminum and steel. probably metal I'm guessing ma bye but i dint no for sure.

Answer 7

Space probes are very useful in astronomy. They help in the exploration and understanding of bodies and substances that out of the earth.

Answer 8

I think that they collect different samples of water and rocks if you are on a non gas planet. If you are on a gas planet then you might collect samples of the different types of gases.

Answer 9

its a machine that search parts of some planets

Answer 10

Space Probes land very carefully, usually with a parachute. I looked it up on different sites, and that is what I came up with!
