The US sent the Voyager probes, Viking probes, and New Horizons probe to explore space, while the USSR sent the Venera probes, Luna probes, and the Mars probes. These space probes played crucial roles in advancing our understanding of the solar system and beyond.
Some space probes currently in space include the Parker Solar Probe, Juno (studying Jupiter), and the Voyager probes (Voyager 1 and Voyager 2) which are now in interstellar space. These probes are conducting various studies and missions related to planetary exploration and scientific research.
The Soviet Union was the first country to launch a space probe. The first successful spacecraft to reach the Moon was Luna 2 in 1959.
One of the space probes currently in space is the Parker Solar Probe, which is on a mission to study the Sun. It was launched in 2018 by NASA and has been flying closer to the Sun than any previous spacecraft.
The name of the space probe that visited outer planets is Voyager. Voyager 1 and Voyager 2 were launched by NASA in 1977 to explore the outer planets of our solar system, including Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
