A satellite is actually a body in orbit around another larger body, it may be a moon, or a machine placed there by us.
A probe is a machine sent to a specific place or on a specific course in space. It is equipped with scientific instruments and communications equipment. Examples of probes include: The Voyager probes, or the MERs (Mars Exploration Rovers).
Examples of Satellites include: The moon, The International Space Station.
And please also answer with what the difference is in escape and orbital velocity!A space probe is colloquially regarded as any machine designed to go into space - usually to investigate other planets, comets, the sun or any other function. A satellite, however, is a space probe that remains in orbit around the earth. The word 'satellite' means 'one who revolves around' or 'one who follows'. Hence the moon is a natural satellite of earth.
An artificial satillite orbits another object while a space probe travels farther into the solar system

What is the difference between a probe a satellite and a rover?
A satellite goes around a planet. A probe goes "somewhere". A rover moves about on the surface of a planet.
One major difference between an artificial satellite and a space probe is that the artificial satellite?
A artifial satelite and space probe is that a artifial satellite orbits somthing else whereas a space probe fly farther into space.
What is the difference between a satellite and a probe regarding where they travel in space?
A satellite is a craft in orbit around another body. A probe either passes by another body or goes to that body and lands (an sometimes returns).
What is the difference between a satellite and a probe with regard to orbital velocity and escape velocity?
Well, a satellite revolves about 80 times faster than the probe. The probe masters different situations which cause orbital problems. Escape velocity doesn't have the power that regards to the probe. Scientists assume that the satellite has the power, but others don't. The probe connects to orbital velocity and has the power to control it.
What is the same between a satellite and a space probe?
A satellite and space probe both orbit Earth (sometimes in geosynchronous orbits).
What is the difference between a space probe and a space satellite and a space rocket and a space shuttle?
Generally, a satellite orbits the Earth, while a space probe is sent to gather information beyond Earth orbit. However, probe can orbit the Earth (and therefore technically be a satellite) or go into orbit around another body (the Moon, Mars, etc.) and therefore also technically become a satellite of that body.
Difference between probes and satellites regarding orbital and escape velocity?
a probe need to travel escape velocity while a satellite travel orbital velocity.
What is the difference between a satellite and a sport satellite?
The sport satellite tansmits sport :)
What is the difference between a space probe and a satellite?
Space probes- instrument that gathers data and sends it back to earth, and an artificial satellite is when people go up to space and gather data and then go back to earth to go over the data
What is the difference between a space probe and the satellite?
Space probes- instrument that gathers data and sends it back to earth, and an artificial satellite is when people go up to space and gather data and then go back to earth to go over the data
Is a satellite a space probe?
A space probe is not the same as a satellite, because they can orbit planets and sat elites don't.
Is a space station a space probe or space satellite?
Satellite- A probe implies probing or traveling through space and not fixed.
