Space probes are at the forefront of space exploration and are technically highly complex spacecraft.
Since the beginning of space flight, a wide variety of probes have been launched into space, of which Voyager 2 is certainly the most famous and successful: launched in 1977, the probe visited Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. It has now left the solar system and is in deep space. To this day, more than 30 years after its launch, it continues to send data back to Earth.
This volume describes the highly fascinating topic of space probes. All the data and facts at a glance!
