What travels in deep space gathers information and returns to earth?
Spacecraft like the Voyager.
Is a voyager spacecraft faster than a space shuttle?
Yes, both Voyager spacecraft travel much faster than the space shuttle. The space shuttle only needs to travel about 5 miles per second to achieve Low-Earth-Orbit. Voyager 1 travels at over 10 miles per second.
The space craft that flew by and photographed the four gas giants in the 1970's?
That was the Voyager I and II spacecraft. Voyager I is 10 billion miles away from the sun (the Earth is only ~93 million miles from the sun and Pluto is 3.67 billion miles). A radio signal from Voyager takes ~15 hours to reach Earth.
What is the longest distance a spacecraft has traveled?
Voyager I and Voyager II, launched in 1977 have flown to the edge of our solar system. As of February 2009, Voyager I is about 10 billion miles (10,000,000,000) from the sun. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Voyager_I
The Voyager 1 spacecraft is currently about 18.5 billion km from the Earth. How long does it take in seconds for a radio signal to get from Voyager 1 to Earth?
That distance you gave is nearly 200 astronomical units so if that is right the time would be 8 minutes times 200, which is 26½ hours.
What is the name of the spacecraft that was sent into space with information about Earth?
the voyager and voyager2
What travels in deep space gathers information and returns to earth?
Spacecraft like the Voyager.
Wich spacecraft sent many images of uranus back to earth?
Voyager 2 :) Continue your homework

Will all space crafts return to earth?
No. It is highly unlikely that all spacecraft will be returned to Earth. With the development of the VASIMR engine, it is possible that we could indeed intercept the Voyager spacecraft and bring them back for museum exhibit, but right now it is most likely that many spacecraft are gone for good.

How long does it take a radio signal from the Voyager spacecraft to reach Earth if the distance between Voyager and Earth is 4.16 109 km?
The speed of light is about 300,000 km/sec. Just divide the distance by the speed of light. The answer will be in seconds; divide by 60 to get minutes, by 3600 to get hours, or by 86400 to get days.
What year did hubble space teleiscope get to neptune?
The HST never has got to Neptune. It always orbited Earth at 569 km above the surface. You confuse HST with the Voyager spacecraft. Voyager 2 had the closest approach to Neptune on Aug. 25, 1989.
Is JPL and NASA still in communication with the Voyager 1 and 2 spacecrafts?
Yes, communications from both of the spacecraft are still received through the Deep Space Network, despite Voyager 1 being the furthest ever man-made object from earth.
Which man-made object is presently farthest away from the earth Is it the hubble satelite?
No, Hubble is in orbit around the Earth. Voyager 1, an unmanned spacecraft, launched September 5, 1977, is now the farthest man-made object from Earth.
