Detailed explanation-1: -A space probe is an unpiloted, unmanned device sent to explore space and gather scientific information. A space probe is launched from Earth with a set of scientific instruments and tools used to study the atmosphere and composition of space and other planets, moons, or celestial bodies.
Detailed explanation-2: -What is space exploration? Space exploration is investigation, by means of crewed and uncrewed spacecraft, of the reaches of the universe beyond Earth’s atmosphere and the use of the information so gained to increase knowledge of the cosmos and benefit humanity.
Detailed explanation-3: -Usually, the word “satellite” refers to a machine that is launched into space and moves around Earth or another body in space. Earth and the moon are examples of natural satellites. Thousands of artificial, or man-made, satellites orbit Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -An orbiter is an uncrewed spacecraft that is designed to enter into orbit around another object in space. As an orbiter approaches its target, rocket engines are fired to slow down the spacecraft so it can go into orbit. Controllers on Earth can place a spacecraft into orbit around a distant planet or its moons.
