Space probe

Students watch a video about space probes and discuss the function of space probes. They use a photo gallery to compare and contrast different structures and equipment of probes, and make connections between the different structures and purposes of space probes. Then students use an interactive diagram of the Cassini space probe to imagine what instruments they might include on a probe of their own design.

ISEE-3, which citizen scientists will attempt to revive this August, has led a fascinating life already.

NASA's Parker Solar Probe is scheduled to depart Earth next summer and make its way to the sun's atmosphere, the corona, about 4 million miles from its surface.

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe will be the first-ever mission to "touch" the Sun. The spacecraft, about the size of a small car, will travel directly into the Sun's atmosphere about 4 million miles from the surface.

23 January 2003: The final, very weak signal from Pioneer 10 was received on January 23, 2003 when it was 12 billion kilometers (80 Astronomical Units) from Earth. The space probe was launched from Earth at 01:49:00 UTC, 2 March 1972, aboard an Atlas Centaur rocket. On January 1, 2016, Pioneer 10 was predicted to be 114.07 … Continue reading 23 January 2003 →

PIONEER 10 (originally designated Pioneer F) is an American space probe, launched in 1972 that completed the first mission to the planet Jupiter. Radio communications were lost with Pioneer 10 on January 23, 2003, because of the loss of electric power for its radio transmitter, with the probe at a distance of 12 billion kilometers (80 AU) from Earth. artwork Liis Roden

NASA’s Parker Solar Probe, scheduled to launch on Saturday, Aug. 11, 2018, will be the first-ever mission to "touch" the Sun.

The CASSINI-HUYGENS mission , commonly called Cassini, was a collaboration between NASA, the European Space Agency (ESA), and the Italian Space Agency (ASI) to send a probe to study the planet Saturn and its system, including its rings and natural satellites. The Flagship-class robotic spacecraft comprised both NASA's Cassini probe, and ESA's Huygens lander which landed on Saturn's largest moon, Titan.Cassini was the fourth space probe to visit Saturn and the first to enter its orbit. The…

The European Space Agency’s Euclid space telescope is scheduled to launch on 1 July and then begin its mission of studying the effects of dark energy and dark matter

The Voyager spacecraft are identical probes launched by NASA in 1977 to study the outer solar system and interstellar space. Voyager 1 and its twin, Voyager 2, are the only man-made objects that have ventured beyond the solar system. Here’s a look at the pioneering frontrunner, which has achieved some incredible feats along the way.

The Voyager space probe, exploring our solar system and departing towards the stars.

On Tuesday, January 28, 2020, NASA's Parker Solar Probe will fly closer to the Sun than ever before. This mission may help scientists better understand the process of switchbacks - sudden reversals in the Sun's magnetic field, which is an unexplained phenomenon still to this day. #NASA #Spacecraft #ParkerSolarProbe #SpaceCraft #SpaceDiscoveries
