It is a telescope placed in space (like the hubble telescope). When placed in space the telescope does not have to "look" through the earth's atmosphere so its images are not destorted.
The first space probe was the Luna I by the United Soviet Socialist Republic. It did a flyby of the moon in 1959
The first planet to be explored by a space probe was Venus. The Soviet spacecraft Venera 1 conducted a flyby of Venus in 1961.
A flyby craft
Pluto was the only planet not visited by a space mariner 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.

The Dawn space probe will begin orbiting Ceres in February 2015. The New Horizons probe will do a flyby of Pluto in June 2015. No other dwarf planets will be visited that year.
None so far. The first up-close views of Pluto wil come when the New Horizons space probe does a flyby in 2015.
So far, not space probes have visited Pluto. The New Horizons probe, launched in 2006, will do a flyby of Pluto in 2015. No other missions are in the works.
None. No man-made object has ever come close to Pluto. The New Horizons space probe will do a flyby of Pluto in 2015, but nothing will land on the surface.
The Voyager 1 spacecraft discovered Jupiter's ring.
Space probe is a station.
Neptune was the last planet to be visited by the space probe called Voyager II. It was launched by NASA and the probed flew past the planet in 1989.
