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: -Five robotic spacecraft have sufficient velocity to escape the bounds of our solar system and travel into interstellar space, but only one-NASA’s Voyager 1-has crossed that boundary so far.
Detailed explanation-3: -There are a few other space probes that have reached, or are about to reach, the ‘boundary’ of our solar system, which is extremely far away, as you can imagine. Now, space probes, by definition, are robotic spacecraft, meaning that they don’t have humans onboard.
Detailed explanation-4: -Explorers Program (1958–present) Pioneer program (1958–1978) Project Echo (1960–1964) Ranger program (1961–1965) Telstar (1962–1963) Mariner program (1962–1973) Lunar Orbiter program (1966–1967) Surveyor program (1966–1968) More items
