A rover simply roves and explores a planet and is designed to move across the surface of a planet or other astronomical body. and a probe is like a missile and gets shot out of the earths atmosphere very very fast and when is up in space takes photos and sends them back to earth, kind of like the Hubble Space Telescope (HST).

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.


Which type of space probe is designed to move around on the surface of a moon or planet?

rover


What is the difference between a probe and a lander?

the difference between a probe and a lander is a lander is a spacecraft that desends and comes to rest on the surface of a planet/space object. while a probe is a device used to collect items and run tests to collect data.


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.


What is the Difference between a space ship and space probe?

A spaceship is a manned spacecraft designed to carry astronauts, while a space probe is an unmanned spacecraft designed to explore space and gather data without a crew on board. Space probes are typically used for scientific research and exploration missions to planets, asteroids, and other celestial bodies.

Is the Messenger Spacecraft a Probe or Rover?

The Mercury Messenger is an orbiting space probe observing the planet Mercury. We generally reserve the word "rover" for a tracked or wheeled vehicle which moves around on the surface, and we haven't tried to do that yet.

What is the same between a satellite and a space probe?

A satellite and space probe both orbit Earth (sometimes in geosynchronous orbits).


What is the difference between a satellite and a probe regarding where they travel in space?

A satellite is a craft in orbit around another body. A probe either passes by another body or goes to that body and lands (an sometimes returns).


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.


What is space probe?

Space probe is a station.
