What is an unmanned satellite?

Quite simply, this is any space vehicle that does not have a live crew of humans or animals on board. All communications, military and meteorological machines that are orbiting the Earth are unmanned satellites, as are the probes that we have sent to other planets in our Solar System.


What probe was sent to take pictures of Venus?

There have been many space probes to Venus. Here are a few important ones: * Mariner 10 (NASA) * The Venera series of probes (Roscosmos) * Magellan (NASA) * Venus Express (ESA) (check related link)


Where can you get stencils for crafts in the Philippines?

You can get these at some craft stores. It might also be a good idea to find some online and have them sent to you.


Who sent this first artificial satellite into space?

The USSR (Russia).


How did NASA find out that their was water on the moon?

On June 18th of 2009, NASA sent a probe in space called LCROSS (Lunar CRater Observation Sensing Satellite) to crash into the south region of the moon near the Cabeus crater. On the 9th of October of that same year, the space craft crashed into its target with dead aim precision. the LRO or Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter, another probe sent at the same time as LCROSS took spectrometry data from the cloud of debris that was ejected from the surface of the moon seconds after LCROSS impacted the Earths natural satellite. Spectrometers look at gases and by looking at the rate of absorption of light, scientist can determine was molecules are in the substance being observed, since each molecule has its very own unique spectrum lines (the colors of the rainbow). for example if looking at mercury gas we would see blue green and orange lines of color where as in hydrogen gas we would see violet blue aqua and red. The data from the spectrometers show very clearly that the spectrum for water in present.

Where have unmanned space probes been sent?

Unmanned space probes have been sent to various destinations in our solar system, including Mars, Venus, Mercury, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, Neptune, and Pluto. They have also traveled beyond our solar system to study interstellar space.


Why is most space exploration accomplished with spacecraft without astronauts?

The most obvious answer to your question is the fact that people have to return to earth, while an unmanned craft can stay in space infinitely. Manned spacecraft require things like oxygen, water, food and communications equipment, none of which are required by an unmanned spacecraft. That means unmanned spacecrafts can be sent into space for a fraction of the cost of a manned spacecraft. So basically, it's much cheaper and safer to send unmanned spacecrafts to explore the universe.


Has NASA gone to mars?

Yes, NASA has sent several rovers to Mars, such as the Curiosity and Perseverance rovers, to study the planet's surface and gather data. Additionally, NASA has plans to send crewed missions to Mars in the future as part of its Mars exploration program.
