simple, we sent a satellite to orbit the moon and take pictures
The Phoenix Mars lander is on the ground now! Use the link to the JPL/NASA posting on this mission. It is updated frequently.
There are many satellites in orbit around the Moon. Some are looking for water in shaded craters. One NASA satellite has recently imaged the Apollo landing sites and the tracks of the lunar rovers can be seen. Other countries have also sent satellirtes notably Japan in 2006,a satellite named "jaxa" was put into lunar orbit. China and India are also in this 'space club'
moon Actually, anything that orbits a planet is called a satellite. Natural examples are moons, but man-made ones are things like the telescopes sent up from earth.
Only Americans have walked on the moon, however a number of countries have sent satellites including America. Russia, Japan and India.

Aryabhatta was the first satellite sent by India.
Charon is a natural satellite (or moon) of Pluto. It was discovered back in 1978 by James W. Christy.

No. As of this writing, the only country that has sent men to the moon is the U.S.A. However, a number of other countries/agencies have sent robotic probes and orbiters to the moon including Russia, Japan, the European Space Agency, China, and India.
a man made satellite is a satellite made by man, and sent into space to orbit around a planet, star, or other body in any solar system to gather information and pictures about it.
NASA sent a Mercury Redstone rocket into space on January 31, 1961. Aboard the rocket was a chimpanzee named Ham. The rocket reached a distance of 157 miles, then splashed down in the Atlantic Ocean.
Miranda is not a space probe sent from Earth, it is a natural satellite of Uranus, i.e. a moon. The probe we sent to Uranus was Voyager 2, which visited in 1986. The confusion stems from our casual use of the word 'satellite'. Strictly, it means an object which orbits another, so the Moon is Earth's natural satellite, and we have put up many artificial satellites, such as those which study the weather and transmit television programmes. We have also sent spacecraft to become satellites of other bodies, such as the Mars Orbiter. If the craft has a different objective we usually call it a space probe.
