OCR: SPACE PROBE A SPACE PROBE is a spacecraft that is sent away from the Earth in order to explore conditions or objects elsewhere in the Universe. The Galileo space probe, for example, was launched from the US Space Shuttle in 1989 to investigate the planet Jupiter and its moons; the two Voyager space probes, launched in 1977, are currently traveling beyond the planetary Solar System.
