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 technology does astronauts use?
Astronauts use space shuttles( trasport people and equipment), Space probes (robotic exploration, Spacecrafts (trasport crew, equipment, and other technologies)
What do astronauts wear to survive on Mercury?
Astronauts don't go to Mercury it's too hot and they could send probes or spacecraft there much more cheaply, safely, and easily if they really needed to.
How do astronauts take pictures?
We send satellites and space probes equipped with cameras into space. The satellites and probes can be sent commands via radio waves, and the equipment then sends back digital photographs via radio as well.
What do astronauts fly in?
Astronauts in their spacecraft (such as the Space Shuttle) are lifted into space by huge rockets which accelerate the craft to "escape velocity" (about 25,000 mph). This puts the craft into orbit around the Earth, its forward velocity balancing the continuous pull of gravity. When they are ready to return to Earth, they use rockets to slow down, and gravity pulls them back out of orbit. When astronauts travelled to the Moon, another smaller rocket pushed the Apollo spacecraft out of orbit, and carried it to the gravitational field of the Moon. Another rocket firing pushed the craft back to Earth. Unmanned space probes have travelled to even farther distances from Earth, including the outer planets Uranus and Neptune. Most of the travel is coasting, because there is practically no matter in space to slow a spacecraft down.
What is safer space probes or manned space flights?
Space probes would be safer.
Have astronauts sent any probes to Jupiter?
yes
How do we explore space from earth?
We use space probes, and send astronauts... etc.

Why have you sent probes instead of astronauts to explore the distant areas of the solar system?
Simpler and cheaper.

Why do astronauts think there is water on Mars?
Testing by probes that have been sent to Mars indicate that water does exist.

Why do scientists send astronauts to mars although the viking probes found no sign of life on the planet?
because they can have glitches and many other things.
What does moon do for earth?
- lunar dust - craters - Astronauts footprints - American flag - probably a few leftover instuments, crashed probes etc.
