Space probes Space probes are un-crewed and  carry scientific tools to planets  and other bodies in space.  They  are impt. b/c they can complete   missions that are too dangerous  or expensive for humans to do.
Clementine Moon Craters may contain water Luna 1 First probe to pass the moon
Lunar prospector Confirmed the existence of water on moon Luna 9 1 st  probe to make a soft landing on the moon
Venera 9 was the first probe to land  on Venus.  It found that the temp,  atmosphere pressure and  greenhouse effect were more  intense than we thought.  It also  found that rocks were similar to   those on Earth.
The Magellen probe (1989) was  Click to add title launched to map out the surface of   Venus.  It was also  discovered that   Venus has  tectonics and volcanic   activity.  Venus also has surface  temp. that could melt lead.
The Viking missions were launched  to see if there was life on Mars.  They also discovered that Mars was  once wetter and warmer than it is  now.
The first space probes to visit the  outer planets were Galileo and  Cassini.  Galileo gathered data  about the geology of Jupiter's  moons.  It discovered that 2 moons  have magnetic fields and that  Europa may have liquid water under  its frozen surface.
The Pioneer probes found the dark  belts on Jupiter gave a deep view at  Jupiter's atmosphere.  Pioneer 10 collected samples of the  solar wind.  It was also the first  space probe to go beyond Pluto.
The Huygens probe detached itself  from Cassini and went into the  atmosphere of Saturn's moon, Titan.  Scientists hope to see if Titan is like  Earth's early atmosphere, and if it  can give us clues about how life  developed on Earth.
Discovery is a NASA program that is  creating smaller space exploration  programs.
Stardust is the first space probe to  concentrate only on comets.
Instead of burning chemical fuel for  propulsion, Deep Space 1 uses ion  propulsion.
