What is the difference between crewed and uncrewed space missions?

Answer 1

Space exploration is where a group of astronauts go into space and explore. A space probe is a machine which is launched into space, transmitts pictures, data and other information - A space probe does not return home.

Answer 2

Crewed or "manned" missions have humans aboard to control the spacecraft and handle its operations (with an assist from computers and ground personnel). Space probes and long-term satellites have no one aboard. They are controlled from the Earth by means of telemetry (radio signals) with their onboard computers and other devices. Because of the constraints of fuel, food, and water, all current missions to other planets and outer space are necessarily unmanned or "robot" missions.

Answer 3

A space telescope like Hubble is placed in Earth orbit and radio's its pictures back to Earth.A space probe travels to remote parts of the solar system and captures closer images of the planet or moon it is imaging. These pictures can be more detailed than a long distance shot from Hubble and can be taken from the planet's surface.

Answer 4

its mainly size because a crewed space is smaller or bigger than a space probe

Answer 5

I don't think so. The space probes are used to probe and they are usually on the spacecraft.

Answer 6

Technology is concerned with the application of discoveries made during space exploration

Answer 7

There are a few ways in which space probes and satellites are similar. They are similar in the fact that they study planets, are sent from Earth and things happening in space.

Answer 8

It orbits the erath, either a geostationary orbit or a relativly changing orbit. Space probes leave orbit and go off to investigate other planets and space objects.

Answer 9

A lunar probe observed and gathers data at the moon.

A planetary probe observes and gathers data at some planet

in the solar system other than the earth.

Answer 10

The word "crew" means people.
