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.

What is the difference between a space shuttle and a rocket?
Answer The Space Shuttle is a rocket. By definition, a Rocket is a vehicle that burns gas that it carries with it. Where as, a jet airplane burns the oxygen from the air and is not a rocket. The Rocket when it is launched has a liquid fuel rocket engines at the back end of it. It also has two long, solid fuel rocket engines that separate after launch. But the space shuttle is pulled by a rocket.
What is the difference between a rocket and a satellite?
A satellite orbits the earth and observes it. A rocket is designed to go to different planets, either taking people with it, or taking a space prob to take pictures of that planet.
Which vehicle that flies in the space?
Spaceship, space shuttle, space station, international space station, rocket, satellite
What is the same between space rockets and space shuttle?
a space shuttle is smaller than an space rocket.

Rocket is the propulsion device (Ariane, Saturn etc) and are disposed of after launch. Shuttle carries the people and equipment, and lands back on the planet.
What is a space shuttle and how does it differ from other spacecraft?
The major difference between a spacecraft and a space shuttle is that the other spacecrafts can not be reused once the do return to the earth with the astronauts. But the shuttle is launched lime a rocket, flys like a plane and lands like a plane on a runway, it is always reusable.
What is the normal speed for a rocket - shuttle?
