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?

A space shuttle is neither a space probe nor a space satellite. Space shuttles are reusable spacecraft designed for carrying astronauts and cargo to and from space, while space probes are unmanned spacecraft used for exploring space beyond Earth's orbit and space satellites are objects that orbit a planet or celestial body for various purposes.


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.
