One major difference between an artificial satellite and a space probe is that the artificial satellite?

One major difference between an artificial satellite and a space probe is that an artificial satellite typically orbits a celestial body, such as Earth, while a space probe is designed to travel through space to explore other celestial bodies.


Is a satellite a space probe?

No, a satellite is not the same as a space probe. A satellite is an object placed into orbit around a celestial body, like a planet, whereas a space probe is a spacecraft designed to conduct scientific investigations in space. However, some satellites carry scientific instruments to conduct research, blurring the lines between the two.


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.'


Is the Hubble telescope the biggest telescope in the world?

No, the biggest telescope in the world currently is the Large Binocular Telescope. But Hubble is the biggest spacetelescope.


What is the difference between a space probe and a space satellite and a space rocket and a space shuttle?

Generally, a satellite orbits the Earth, while a space probe is sent to gather information beyond Earth orbit. However, probe can orbit the Earth (and therefore technically be a satellite) or go into orbit around another body (the Moon, Mars, etc.) and therefore also technically become a satellite of that body.
