Has a space probe been to Jupiter?

Yes, the Galileo spacecraft sent a probe down into the atmosphere of Jupiter in 1995.


Is there a synonym for atmosphere probe?

Atmospheric probe is a commonly used term, and there are no widely recognized synonyms for it. However, you could use terms like atmospheric sensor or atmospheric instrument to refer to similar devices used for studying the atmosphere.


How would the size of parachute required on a space probe to allow it to land safely on a planet such as venus which has a thick atmosphere?

It would need to have a small parachute for a planet such as venus, because the atmospheric pressure is about 90 times that on Earth. This increases air resistance (drag) slowing the probe down. Therefore, the small parachute allows the probe to have more acceleration.


What did the Galileo drop the probe into?

Galileo plunged into Jupiter's crushing atmosphere on Sept. 21, 2003. The spacecraft was deliberately destroyed to protect one of its own discoveries - a possible ocean beneath the icy crust of the moon Europa. Galileo changed the way we look at our solar system. The spacecraft was the first to fly past an asteroid and the first to discover a moon of an asteroid. It provided the only direct observations of a comet colliding with a planet. Galileo was the first to measure Jupiter's atmosphere with a descent probe and the first to conduct long-term observations of the Jovian system from orbit. It found evidence of subsurface saltwater on Europa, Ganymede and Callisto and revealed the intensity of volcanic activity on Io. see related link


What probe was sent to Jupiter?

The Cassini-Huygens probe. cassini mapped and analyzed the atmosphere of Jupiter while the huygens probe was dropped deep into the atmosphere to record and take pictures of the atmospheric conditons. The two were named after famous astronomers and scientests; their last names obviously being cassini and huygens

Did a robot ever land on Jupiter?

No. Nothing can land on Jupiter as it does not have a solid surface. The Galileo spacecraft orbited Jupiter from 1995 until 2002. In 1995 an atmospheric probe with the Galileo mission entered Jupiter's atmosphere to study it. The probe eventually melted as it entered the superheated layers deep in Jupiter's atmosphere. In 2002 the main Galileo space probe burned up in Jupiter's atmosphere at the end of its mission.

What is Mariner 5?

Was a spacecraft of the Mariner program that carried a complement of experiments to probe Venus' atmosphere by radio occulation.


Were there any missions launched to Saturn?

Yes there were many missions launched to Saturn. One of the first missions had a probe sent to space and see what the surface was made of and the probe was crushed with the extremely dense atmosphere


Has nasa sent a probe or satellite to the sun?

Yes, the Parker Solar Probe was launched August 12, 2018.


What was the first spacecraft to ever observe Venus?

The American probe Mariner 2 performed the first flyby of Venus. The Russian probe Venera 4 was able to sample Venus' atmosphere and enter the atmosphere but it was destroyed by the pressure and the landing impact. Venera 7 was the first to make a successful soft landing and also sent back some data. Venera 9 was the first probe to send back images of the surface.

What is a Cassini probe used for?

The Cassini probe was a space probe launched by NASA to study the planet Saturn and its moons. It collected valuable data about Saturn's rings, moons, and atmosphere during its mission, which lasted from 2004 to 2017. The information gathered by Cassini has significantly increased our understanding of the Saturnian system.
