Why did queen Elizabeth send drake on a voyage?
Francis Drake was well known for his skill as a pirate, and Elizabeth I privately hired him on trips under Sir John Hawkins to raid Spanish ships in the New World. Eventually she sponsored his own voyages, which were so successful it brought England out of foreign debt. On his voyages a significant amount of map making was done in the California area, as well as along the coast of South America. Sir Francis Drake was the first Englishman to travel entirely around the world by sea, but no evidence shows that Elizabeth and Drake actually planned that in advance. Some say Drake decided that was a better way to get back, since they had difficulty going around the tip of South America on their trip.

Does Queen Elizabeth have any brothers or sisters and what are their names?
There have been two Queen Elizabeths.
Elizabeth II had one sister, Princess Margaret, Countess of Snowdon. However, Princess Margaret died in 2002.
For Elizabeth I, it's complicated.
Her mother was Anne Boleyn. Anne had three other pregnancies, but one of them ended in a miscarriage, another in a stillbirth, and one was a son (named Henry) who died only a few minutes after being born. So Elizabeth had no full siblings who survived infancy.
However, her father was Henry VIII, who eventually was married six times... Anne was his second wife... and through him, she had quite a few half-siblings.
Before Henry got married, he had a mistress who became pregnant and gave birth to a son, Henry FitzRoy ("son of the king"). Henry (the father) acknowledged that Henry FitzRoy was his son.
Henry also slept with Anne's sister Mary, and there has been speculation that Mary's two children (a son, Henry, and a daughter, Catherine) may have been Henry's; however, Henry never publically acknowledged them the way he had Henry FitzRoy.
He had six children with his first wife, Catherine of Aragon: A stillborn daugher, a son named Henry Duke of Cornwall who died when he was about two months old, a stillborn son, a second son also named Henry Duke of Cornwall (by this point, you have probably noticed a pattern forming) who died within a month, a daughter Mary, and an unnamed daughter who died within a week.
Henry's third wife was Jane Seymour, who bore him one child (Edward ... I don't know if Henry finally realized the "Henry Jr." thing wasn't working out, or what) and died shortly afterward.
Henry's fourth wife was Anne of Cleves. He never actually slept with her.
Henry's fifth wife was Catherine Howard. They had no children.
Henry's sixth wife was Catherine Parr. They also had no children. Catherine did remarry after Henry's death and give birth to a daughter (Mary Seymour), but Mary Seymour was neither a full nor half sibling of Elizabeth.
Counting just those that survived infancy, then, that gives Elizabeth a total of one acknowledged but illegitimate half-brother (Henry FitzRoy), one half-sister (Mary), one possible half-brother (Henry Carey) and half-sister (Catherine Carey) who were not acknowledged, and one half-brother (Edward).
Edward (as Edward VI), Mary (as Mary I), and Elizabeth (as Elizabeth I) would all eventually become sovereign (in that order).
