Detailed explanation-1: -Some spacecraft-probes-travel very fast and don’t slow down to stay long at a planet. Orbiters circle around a planet or moon for an extended period of time. Landers land on a planet or moon to study a particular place (rovers are able to move and visit more than one place in the area).
Detailed explanation-2: -Many probes study Earth or measure properties of space. Other probes use telescopes or other instruments to study planets, stars, and galaxies that are far away.
Detailed explanation-3: -The Apollo 15 mission obtained over 80 kilograms of samples and its command module carried chemical sensors and cameras that mapped almost 20 percent of the moon’s surface from orbit. Apollo 16 was sent to the ancient crater Descartes, deep in the lunar highlands in April 1972.
Detailed explanation-4: -Fly-By. A fly-by does exactly that-it flies by. Orbiter. An orbiter orbits a body in space to make observations and gather data without landing on the surface. Lander. Rover. 14-Nov-2022
