A
NASA
B
SPACE STATION
C
SPACE SHUTTLE
D
SPACE PROBE
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -A space probe is a robotic spacecraft that travels outside of Earth’s orbit and gathers information about distant planets and outer space. Space probes are designed to operate on their own, gathering data and sending it back to Earth for scientists to analyze.

Detailed explanation-2: -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.

Detailed explanation-3: -Answer. Examples of data that space probes gather include photographs and information on the gravitational field of a celestial body.

Detailed explanation-4: -The Short Answer: Spacecraft send information and pictures back to Earth using the Deep Space Network (DSN), a collection of big radio antennas. The antennas also receive details about where the spacecraft are and how they are doing. NASA also uses the DSN to send lists of instructions to the spacecraft.

Detailed explanation-5: -Space probes can carry special cameras and instruments far out into the solar system. Some space probes study many planets and moons while flying past them. Others go into orbit around a planet or moon to study it more closely.

Detailed explanation-6: -Space probes have helped scientists get information about our solar system. Most probes are not designed to return to Earth. Some have landed on other planets! Others have flown past the planets and taken pictures of them for scientists to see.

Detailed explanation-7: -Voyager 1 was the first spacecraft to cross the heliosphere, the boundary where the influences outside our solar system are stronger than those from our Sun. Voyager 1 is the first human-made object to venture into interstellar space.
