deep space probe
Far-traveling spacecraft
A deep space probe is an unmanned spacecraft designed to travel beyond Earth's orbit to explore distant planets, moons, asteroids, or interstellar space.
Unlike satellites that remain near Earth, deep space probes venture millions or billions of miles away, sending back data and images: The Voyager probes have now entered interstellar space.
Such missions may take decades to reach their destinations.
