Detailed explanation-1: -A probe is a spacecraft that travels through space to collect science information. Probes do not have astronauts. Probes send data back to Earth for scientists to study. Sputnik 1 was the first probe to go into space.
Detailed explanation-2: -Different probes have different mission objectives. There are lunar (moon) probes, solar (sun) probes that measure solar radiation, and probes that investigate the terrain on rocky planets or the gases on gaseous planets. Introduce the Cassini space probe.
Detailed explanation-3: -Several kinds of space exploration technologies are used to explore space. For example, fly-bys, orbiters, landers, rovers, and telescopes can be used to observe, collect data, and take images far beyond Earth.
Detailed explanation-4: -Parker Solar Probe. Mission: observation of solar wind, magnetic fields, and coronal energy flow. Solar Orbiter. Mission: detailed measurements of the inner heliosphere and nascent solar wind, and close observations of the polar regions of the Sun. CubeSat for Solar Particles.
