It went to Mercury and all they found was clouds and winds and other strange things that we don't normally find.

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.


Where did the first space probe go?

The space probe furthest from the Earth is Voyager 1. It is at a distance of 109.366 AU from Earth. 1 AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun. Hence, it is around 110 times the distance between the earth and the Sun and around 10 times further than Pluto is from Earth.


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 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.


Where in space did the voyager space mission go?

If this question refers to the Voyager program, the answer is, we don't know yet. Both the program, and the two deep space probes Voyager 1 and 2, are still on-going. Both probes have enough electrical energy that they are estimated to be able to continue operating to about 2020. At this point, the program will most likely close down, but the probes will still continue travel on a ballistic trajectory, and where they will end up is anyones guess.

Did anything explore Uranus?

Sort Of. No human can go out that far. The only thing that can reach Uranus is a probe. The only probe I know of to reach Uranus was Voyager 2.


When a probe is sent to space do astronauts go inside of them?

What is the difference between a probe and satellite?

A satellite is actually a body in orbit around another larger body, it may be a moon, or a machine placed there by us.A probe is a machine sent to a specific place or on a specific course in space. It is equipped with scientific instruments and communications equipment. Examples of probes include: The Voyager probes, or the MERs (Mars Exploration Rovers).Examples of Satellites include: The moon, The International Space Station.And please also answer with what the difference is in escape and orbital velocity!A space probe is colloquially regarded as any machine designed to go into space - usually to investigate other planets, comets, the sun or any other function. A satellite, however, is a space probe that remains in orbit around the earth. The word 'satellite' means 'one who revolves around' or 'one who follows'. Hence the moon is a natural satellite of earth.An artificial satillite orbits another object while a space probe travels farther into the solar system
