Why werent the ten smaller satellites discovered until a space probe passed close to to uranus?
Since Uranus is a long distance from earth and the 10 smaller satellites are so small and dark, we weren't able to discover them until we sent a spacecraft close to Uranus. These satellites are not visible from earth.Uranus is very far away from the Sun and the Earth, and its satellites very small. When Voyager flew there it was much closer and it was easier to detect them.Space probes have proved that Uranus also has ten much smaller satellites that orbit much closer to the planet. These ten are dark in color and do not reflect as much sunlight as the larger ones.
What is a Cassini probe used for?
The Cassini--Huygens space probe will be used to study the planet Saturn and it's respective satellites .
Why aren't the ten smaller satellites discovered until a space probe passed close to Uranus?
Uranus is very far away. The planet itself cannot even be seen without a telescope. Those ten moons are very small. They would have been extremely difficult to find with even the best telescopes.
What satellites or robots that have explored Neptune up close?
Voyager 2 is the only probe.
What satellites explored uranus?
Maybe?

What are the names of the satellites or robots that explored neptune up close?

What is the difference of probes and satellites?
A probe is a piece of equipment that collects data. It can also monitor conditions. One example is the Galileo space probe. A satellite is anything that orbits something else. this can include the moon, GPS satellites, the space station, or the space shuttle.
