What is the difference between a space probe and a satellite?
A space probe is a spacecraft sent to explore outer space beyond Earth's orbit, usually with a specific mission in mind such as planetary exploration. A satellite refers to any object placed into orbit around a larger body, like a planet or moon, for communication, navigation, or scientific purposes. In essence, a satellite can be a type of space probe, but not all satellites are probes.
How do space probes get into space?
Space probes are launched into space using various methods, such as rockets, space shuttles, or specialized launch vehicles. Once in space, they rely on onboard propulsion systems to reach their designated destinations within our solar system or beyond. Once they have completed their mission, they may continue their journey into deep space or be rerouted to burn up in Earth's atmosphere.
What is the name of the first rocket sent up to space?
The first rocket sent into space was called V-2, which was launched by Germany in 1944.
What space probe is currently in space?
The new horizon space probe is a probe launched January 16, 2006 and will reach Pluto on Bestille day (July 14) 2016. After words it will go into the Kuiper Belt and look for new icy objects like Pluto. It will use Jupiter's gravity to speed itself up along the way.

Will Neptune have a space probe or a space craft land on it?
No. This would not be possible as Neptune is made up of gas and does not have an actual surface.
When did the satellite Miranda visit Uranus?
Miranda is not a space probe sent from Earth, it is a natural satellite of Uranus, i.e. a moon. The probe we sent to Uranus was Voyager 2, which visited in 1986. The confusion stems from our casual use of the word 'satellite'. Strictly, it means an object which orbits another, so the Moon is Earth's natural satellite, and we have put up many artificial satellites, such as those which study the weather and transmit television programmes. We have also sent spacecraft to become satellites of other bodies, such as the Mars Orbiter. If the craft has a different objective we usually call it a space probe.
Have many Space Probes have been sent to Pluto?
One space probe has been sent to Pluto: NASA's New Horizons spacecraft. It performed a flyby of Pluto in July 2015, providing the first close-up images and scientific data of the dwarf planet and its moons.
Why was there blood type discrimination in the Christmas 2005 Doctor Who episode?
Because, on the space probe, the government sent up a vial of human blood to give alien creatures more information about us. The blood happened to be a certain type.
