Robotic Spacecraft

Robotic spacecraft are automated vehicles designed to explore space without crew onboard. They are equipped with instruments to gather data, take images, and analyze environments on planets, moons, asteroids, or in deep space. Controlled remotely from Earth, these spacecraft operate through pre-programmed commands and onboard computers, enabling them to perform tasks in harsh, distant environments where human presence isn't possible. They have powered systems like thrusters for movement and communication tools to send data back to scientists. Examples include Mars rovers, space telescopes, and probes exploring the outer planets, expanding our understanding of the universe.
