What else can I help you with?
Why do you send out space probes insted of actual space flights with astronauts?
NASA occasionally sends out space probes instead of humans because astronauts could not survive on some of the places that space probes are sent to.
Do space probes have astronauts aboard them?
The term "space probe" is normally limited to unmanned (robotic) spacecraft. So, no, space probes do not have people aboard them.
What are facts about the movie gattaca?
Uma Thurman's character is named Irene Cassini. Cassini is the surname of the 17th century French-Italian astronomer, Jean Dominique Cassini, who discovered the prominent gap in Saturn's main rings, as well as the icy moons, Iapetus, Dione, Rhea, and Tethys. The space mission in Gattaca is destined for Saturn.More facts at: http:/www.sciflicks.com/gattaca/facts.html
What space probes provided valuable information about the moon before man's landing on the moon?
Pegasus
Do space probes bring things back to earth?
Because of the cost of sending fuel and re-entry equipment into space, most robotic space probes are designed to do experiments "on site" after landing on a planey or moon. One exception is the NASA "Stardust" mission launched in 1999. The space craft was launched into a solar orbit that would repeatedly pass near Earth. It was steered into a close encounter with the comet Wild-2 in 2004. Samples from the comet's coma (as well as others from interplanetary space) were returned to Earth by an ejected capsule during a flyby in January, 2006. The craft again passed Earth in January, 2009, enroute to a new photographic mission to the comet Tempel-1 in February, 2011. (Tempel-1 was rammed by the probe Deep Impact in 2005.) The particles captured by Stardust are still being analyzed from the aerogel material returned to Earth. (see mission site at related link)
Is the Cassini space mission complete?
Cassini's mission exploring Saturn and its moon will end in 2013.
Who pays for the Cassini space mission?
The Cassini mission was a joint project between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI). The costs were shared among these agencies according to their contributions to the mission.
Who created the cassini orbiter?
== == The Cassini space orbiter was part of the Cassini-Huygens mission, a collaborative NASA/ESA/ASI unmanned space mission for the purpose of studying Saturn and its moons.
What are the four space probes in space?
Actually, there are very many space probes out there, like Cassini, Voyagers 1 and 2, Spirit and Opportunity, Galileo, the Viking Lander, and many more.
What are the different kinds of space probes?
Space probes are classified based on their mission's target or the mission's type. Target classifications include lunar, solar, planetary, or interplanetary probes. Mission types include flyby, orbiter, and soft-lander.
What space mission was sent to Saturn?
Cassini - it's still there and will be for a while.
What are the different space probes and their mission?
A space probe is an unmanned spacecraft sent into space.
What probs have been sent to Saturn?
Two space probes have been sent to Saturn: Pioneer 11 in 1979 and the Cassini-Huygens mission in 1997. Cassini-Huygens provided extensive data on Saturn and its moons, including the discovery of liquid methane lakes on Titan and the geysers on Enceladus.
Cassini High-gain antenna was the contribution of?
The Cassini High-gain antenna was the contribution of the European Space Agency (ESA). It was an integral part of the Cassini spacecraft mission to study Saturn and its moons, providing communication with Earth during the mission.
When was the Cassini-Huygen spacecraft launched?
The Cassini-Huygens probe was launched on the15th of October 1997, on a mission to orbit Saturn and study its many moons. in 2008 , NASA extended the Cassini-Huygens mission by two years naming it the Cassini Equinox Mission. Another mission extension has been proposed to to prolong Cassinis mission until 2017.
Is the Cassini space mission still going on?
No, the Cassini space mission ended on September 15, 2017, when the spacecraft was deliberately directed into Saturn's atmosphere and burned up. The mission provided valuable data and insights into Saturn and its moons during its 20-year journey.
What was the Russian USSR mission that landed space probes on Venus called?
i think it was the vanera mission
