Why isn't a space shuttle is not a space probe?

A space shuttle isn't a probe, because humans are able to fly it. Not only that, but a space probe is most likely NOT to have life-support systems aboard.


Is Skylab a space probe a space station or a space shuttle?

it was also in the earlyer (not shuttle) missions


Is a space shuttle a probe?

No, a space shuttle is not a probe. A space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft designed for crewed missions to orbit Earth and other destinations in space, while a probe is an unmanned spacecraft designed to explore space and gather information about celestial bodies.


What is the Difference between space-shuttle space -probe spacecraft?

A space shuttle is a reusable spacecraft designed for human spaceflight, carrying astronauts to and from space. A space probe is an unmanned spacecraft designed to explore other planets, moons, or asteroids without carrying humans. Spacecraft is a general term that encompasses both manned (space shuttles) and unmanned (space probes) vehicles designed for space exploration.


Is the space shuttle a space probe or a satellite?

A space probe is an unmanned spacecraft designed to explore the solar system and transmit data back to earth.A satellite is an object that orbits around a planet.By these definitions the space shuttle is not a space probe and is only sometimes a satellite. It is considered a satellite only when it is in orbit around Earth.However, the space shuttle is not usually referred to as a 'satellite' no matter if it is in orbit or not. Normally it is called a 'launch vehicle.'

When was the hubble space probe launched?

I think that means Hubble Space Telescope. It was carried into space by the Space Shuttle in 1990.


The Space Station is different than a space shuttle and a space probe but how?

The International Space Station was assembled in space and is designed to stay there. It is meant as a place of research and as a place for astronauts to stay in space. A space shuttle is a vehicle that can lauch from Earth into space and then return, something a space station cannot do. Space shuttles transport people and equipment to and from space.


Is a space shuttle a space probe or space satellite?

neither it is usually referred to as a launch vehicle. a space probe is unmanned and transmits data back to earth and a space satellite is something that orbits the earth. you could call the shuttle a satellite but it is not normally referred to as that.


Why aren't space shuttles a space probe?

A space probe is an unmanned device that is sent into space for purposes of exploration. The space shuttle is a manned vehicle meant for research and delivering supplies, equipment, and people into low-Earth orbit.
