What is the difference between a space probe and a satellite?
A space probe is a spacecraft sent to explore outer space beyond Earth's orbit, usually with a specific mission in mind such as planetary exploration. A satellite refers to any object placed into orbit around a larger body, like a planet or moon, for communication, navigation, or scientific purposes. In essence, a satellite can be a type of space probe, but not all satellites are probes.
What planet did a space probe not go too?
Pluto. That is now a dwarf planet. :)
Where did space probe Galileo go and what did it find?
The Space Probe Galileo was put into orbit around the planet Jupiter
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.
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
What planet did the vigor space probe crash in to?
As far as we know, Vigor hasn't crashed into any planet. That's because it never existed - the story about it is an urban legend. In the story, it was intended to go to Venus, but due to a "small" programming error, it missed Venus entirely and "wandered off into space" - AWOL. No one knows where it is now. In reality, Vigor never existed. The story seems to be a confused version of the fate of the Mars Climate Orbiter, which did indeed crash into Mars due to a programming error.
How does a satellite orbit a planet?
Ever seen water go down a plughole in your bath? When a satellite or moon gets caught in a planets gravitational field it vortexes in the same way. Only it moves toward the planet very slowly. Hope I Helped
What is the difference between a probe and satellite?
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 was the name of the satellite that explored the sun?
it is impossible to go on the sun. it is far to hot.
Did a space probe ever visit Mercury?
No probe has landed on Mercury, however Mariner 10 and Messenger have both surveyed Mercury. Messenger is due to go into orbit around Mercury in 2011 to survey and map the entire planet.
What planet did sally ride go on?
She never landed on a planet. She was on the space lab. Only one planet has been landed on by man and that is the moon.
What day will curiosity rover get to Pluto?
Never. The Curiosity rover is on Mars and will never leave. It was never meant to go to Pluto. The New Horizons probe flew by Pluto on July 14, 2015.
